• dunmore had blacks in his troops and they were growing fast by the numbers / dunmore tenía a personas negras en sus tropas y ellas estaban creciendo rápidamente.
• great britain told him he needed blacks to win the war / gran bretaña le dijo que necesitaba a los negros para ganar la guerra.
• blacks would make a great militia / gran bretaña le dijo que necesitaba a los negros para ganar la guerra.
• blacks would make his army look bigger / los negros harían que su ejército pareciera más grande

Explanation:

During the American Revolutionary War, Lord Dunmore's Proclamation (1775) offered freedom to enslaved blacks who joined British forces, leading to a fast-growing contingent of black soldiers in his troops. This threatened the Continental Army's manpower, prompting George Washington to reverse his ban on black enlistment to compete for recruits and strengthen his own forces. The other options are inaccurate: Britain did not tell Washington to enlist blacks, the core motivation was not just creating a militia, and making the army look bigger was not the key driver.

Answer:

A. Dunmore had blacks in his troops and they were growing fast by the numbers/ Dunmore tenía a personas creciendo rápidamente.
