select the correct answer
approximately how many enslaved people took up the british offer to join their military in exchange for freedom?
a. two million
b. 20,000
c. 200,000
d. 2000

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we recall historical context: during the American Revolutionary War, approximately 20,000 enslaved people took up the British offer of freedom in exchange for military service. This eliminates the other options (two million is too high, 200,000 and 2000 are inconsistent with historical records).

Answer:

B. 20,000
