Explanation:

• Question 22: The Treaty of Paris (1783) was the peace treaty that ended the American Revolutionary War. It had several key provisions. Britain recognized the United States as an independent nation. It also set the boundaries of the new - born nation. Florida was given to Spain (not the US), so option a is wrong. The US did not lose land to Canada, so option b is wrong. Britain no longer controlled the American colonies as they were now independent, so option c is wrong.
• Question 23: The American Revolutionary War started in 1775 (with battles like Lexington and Concord) and ended in 1783 (with the Treaty of Paris). \(1783 - 1775=8\) years.
• Question 24: George Washington was a reluctant leader during the war. He had a strong desire for a peaceful life. He planned to retire to his plantation (Mount Vernon). He had no intention of leading a new army immediately, moving to France, or becoming a king.

Answer:

• Question 22: d. Britain recognized U.S. independence and set its boundaries
• Question 23: About 8 years
• Question 24: d. Retire to his plantation
