  • Q #3: Lexington and Concord The majority of history scholars agree that the open warfare portion of the American War for Independence began in two small Massachusetts towns: Lexington and Concord. To stop the British from discovering military supplies hidden in Concord, the American Minutemen attempted to stall or halt the British Regulars in Lexington Common. While the opposing factions were facing off against one another, a shot was fired from an unknown source, causing hostilities to break into violence. After the skirmish at Lexington settled, multiple people from both sides lay dead and the British continued their way toward Concord. Which of the following could accurately subtitle this passage, following "Lexington and Concord"?

    A. American March from the Sea

    B. In the State of Massachusetts

    C. The Full Armies Face Off

    D. The Start of the Revolution

    Answer Explanation

     

    The passage describes the events that marked the beginning of the open warfare phase of the American War for Independence, specifically in Lexington and Concord. The shot fired at Lexington Common initiated hostilities between the American Minutemen and the British Regulars, resulting in casualties. This incident played a significant role in escalating tensions and ultimately marked the start of the revolution.

    Therefore, the subtitle "The Start of the Revolution" accurately captures the historical significance and context of the events described in the passage.
