question 18 (5 points)
in what kind of government does a small group have a firm control over a country?
a) totalitarian
b) monarchy
c) oligarchy

Explanation:

1. For the first question about the Battle of Saratoga: The British strategy at Saratoga was to cut - off New England from the other colonies. Their defeat at Saratoga prevented this. The French joined the war partly due to the American victory at Saratoga. The Southern strategy and marching on New York City were not directly related to the main goal at Saratoga.
2. For the second question about government types: In an oligarchy, a small group holds firm control over a country. In a totalitarian government, the state has total control over all aspects of life. In a monarchy, power is held by a single ruler (a king or queen).

Answer:

1. C) cut off New England from the rest of the colonies.
2. C) Oligarchy
