Explanation:

• Question 13: Diplomats are representatives. During the American Revolution, their main role was to represent the colonies in other countries and make agreements (e.g., seeking foreign aid, like France's support). Fighting in battles was for soldiers, collecting taxes was a colonial - official or later - government function (not a diplomat's main job), and writing newspapers was for journalists.
• Question 14: The term "siege" in a military context (like the American Revolution) means surrounding a city or fort to cut off supplies and force surrender. A surprise attack at night is a raid, a peace meeting is a negotiation session, and a battle fought at sea is a naval battle.
• Question 15: The United States Constitution is a set of laws that explains how the government works. It outlines the structure (branches: legislative, executive, judicial) and functions of the U.S. government. "Too Much Taxation Not Enough Representation" was a colonial grievance, a letter asking for peace is not what the Constitution is, and a plan for fighting the British army was more of a military strategy (not the Constitution's role).
