question 2 of 10
which of these would most likely to be a loyalist in the revolutionary war?
a. a rich merchant
b. a small merchant
c. a city artisan
d. a poor farmer

Explanation:

Loyalists were those who remained loyal to the British Crown during the Revolutionary War. Rich merchants often had strong economic ties to Britain, such as trade agreements and access to British markets. They feared that independence might disrupt these profitable relationships. Small merchants, city artisans, and poor farmers, on the other hand, often had more grievances against British policies (such as taxation without representation) and were more likely to support the revolutionary cause.

Answer:

A. A rich merchant
