Question

1. who ordered the british expedition to concord?

a. paul revere
b. king george iii

d. george washington

Explanation:

To determine who ordered the British expedition to Concord, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Paul Revere was a rider who warned of the British approach, not the one who ordered the expedition.
• Option b: King George III was the British monarch, but the direct order for the Concord expedition was given by a military leader, not the king directly in this operational sense.
• Option c: General Thomas Gage, the British military governor of Massachusetts, ordered the expedition to Concord to seize colonial military supplies.
• Option d: George Washington was a colonial leader and later the first US president; he was not ordering British expeditions.

Answer:

c. General Thomas Gage
