Question

which is the best explanation for how american troops used the physical geography of the area to gain an advantage in the battle of lexington and concord?
a they were able to push the british back to the coast near boston where they could be shelled by our navy.
b they hid behind trees and stone walls and were able to fire on the british from a relatively safe position.
c they only fought at locations that were close to rivers in order to have a quick means of escape, if necessary.
d they used the open fields of the nearby farms to make it more difficult for the british to surround their positions.

Explanation:

Durante la Batalla de Lexington y Concord, los soldados estadounidenses utilizaron tácticas de guerrilla, escondiéndose detrás de árboles y muros de piedra. Esto les permitía disparar a los británicos desde una posición segura y sorprenderlos. Las otras opciones no se ajustan a las tácticas utilizadas en esta batalla. La opción A no es correcta porque los estadounidenses no tuvieron suficiente fuerza para empujar a los británicos hacia la costa. La opción C no es correcta porque no se limitaban a pelear cerca de los ríos. La opción D no es correcta porque utilizar campos abiertos habría hecho que fueran más vulnerables.

Answer:

B. They hid behind trees and stone walls and were able to fire on the British from a relatively safe position.
