Explanation:

To solve these fill - in - the - blank questions about the beginning of the American Revolution, we analyze each one based on historical knowledge:

1. Boston Massacre

In the Boston Massacre, it was British troops who fired on anti - British demonstrators. So the blank should be filled with "British".

2. Start of the American Revolutionary War

The American Revolutionary War began when the "Minutemen" in Massachusetts fought a skirmish with British troops at Lexington and Concord. So the two blanks are "Lexington" and "Concord" respectively.

3. Boston Tea Party

The Boston Tea Party was led by the Sons of Liberty. So the blank here is "Sons of Liberty".

4. Continental Congress

The First Continental Congress was called, and to it, all the colonies eventually sent representatives. So the blank is "First".

5. First Continental Congress (colony exclusion)

In the First Continental Congress, all colonies except Georgia sent representatives. So the blank is "Georgia".

6. Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army

Members of the Continental Congress selected George Washington as Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army, and they debated the issue of independence (though at this early stage, it was more about colonial rights and responses to British actions, but the key figure for the army was Washington). So the first blank is "George Washington" and the second blank (about the issue debated) could be "independence" (or more specifically, colonial grievances and potential responses, but "independence" is a major issue that came to the fore later and was debated in the context of the Congress's actions).

Answer:

s:

• Boston Massacre: British
• American Revolutionary War start: Lexington, Concord
• Boston Tea Party: Sons of Liberty
• Continental Congress: First
• First Continental Congress (colony): Georgia
• Continental Army Commander - in - Chief: George Washington; Debated issue: independence (or colonial grievances)
