Explanation:

• First Question: George Washington was appointed as the commander - in - chief of the Continental Army in 1775. Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. Benjamin Franklin was a key figure in diplomacy (e.g., securing French aid). John Adams was a prominent political leader but not the military commander.
• Second Question: The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 was a major turning point. The British surrender of a large force convinced the French to formally ally with the Americans. The Battle of Bunker Hill was an early, costly battle for the Americans. The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the start of the armed conflict. The Battle of Yorktown was the final major battle where Cornwallis surrendered, but it was after the French alliance.

Answer:

• First Question: George Washington
• Second Question: Battle of Saratoga
