Explanation:

Question 5

The American Civil War ended in April 1865. Option A is April 1865, which matches the historical fact. Option B (September 1864) and D (April 1864) are too early, and C (February 1866) is too late.

The Battle of Gettysburg was a major battle in the Civil War. After the battle, Meade was recognized for his role against Lee's army. Option A is incorrect as the South's hopes were diminished. Option B is wrong as the war didn't end here. Option D is incorrect as many men were killed. So C is correct.

West Virginia broke away from the Confederacy (Virginia) to support the Union and became a state in 1863. North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee didn't do this. So B is correct.

Answer:

A. April 1865
