Explanation:

Let's solve each question one by one:

Question 15: Why was inflation a problem for the Continental Congress?

Inflation means prices rise too quickly. If prices rise, it makes it harder for Congress to get money (funding) because the value of money drops. So the correct option is "Inflation made it harder for Congress to pay for the war" (the second option in the list for Q15).

Question 16: Marquis de Lafayette joined the Patriots from which European nation?

• Boston Tea Party: When colonists threw British tea into the harbor (option D: "When the colonists threw Britain’s tea into the harbor").
• Boston Massacre: When colonists were shot down in the street (option B: "When the Colonists were shot down in the street").

Question 18: What happened after the Americans defeated the British at Saratoga?

Question 19: The Continental Congress sent the Olive Branch Petition to which king?

The Olive Branch Petition was sent to King George III to show loyalty and avoid war. So the answer is King George III.

Question 20: How did the French and Indian War affect the British government?
