Explanation:

First Question:

In the American Revolutionary War, France had conflicts with Britain and provided significant military and financial support to the Patriots (American colonists) against the British. Italy, Germany (not unified as a nation then), and Portugal did not play this major ally role.

The British gained support from African slaves (who sought freedom) and Native Americans (who had conflicts with colonists) in the Southern colonies, which helped their military efforts. Spain was not a major helper for Britain here, blocking ports wasn't the main success factor in the South, and burning towns wasn't the primary strategy for success.

Paul Revere is famous for his midnight ride to warn the Minutemen that the British were approaching. Sam Adams was more involved in organizing resistance, and Benjamin Franklin was a diplomat and inventor, not known for this specific warning ride.

Answer:

A. France
