Question

how did colonial women support the revolution? select two correct answers. they held tea parties with tea and china imported from britain. they raised funds to support american troops. they wrote plays and articles attacking british rule. they learned to use weapons and fought in the continental army.

Explanation:

• For the option "They held tea parties with tea and china imported from Britain": Colonial women boycotted British goods, so using imported British tea and china goes against supporting the revolution. Eliminate this.
• For "They raised funds to support American troops": Colonial women organized fundraising efforts (like sewing circles, making goods) to provide supplies and money for the troops, which supported the revolution. This is correct.
• For "They wrote plays and articles attacking British rule": Women used writing (plays, articles) to spread anti - British sentiment and rally support for the revolution. This is correct.
• For "They learned to use weapons and fought in the Continental Army": Very few women fought in the Continental Army; most supported from the home front. Eliminate this.

Answer:

B. They raised funds to support American troops, C. They wrote plays and articles attacking British rule
