Explanation:

• 7.1: Women during the American Revolution ran farms and businesses (to keep the economy going while men were at war), sewed uniforms and made ammunition (to support the troops), and served as nurses near battlefields (to care for the wounded). Serving on naval ships was mainly a male role, serving in assemblies in place of men is not a common contribution mentioned for women in this context, and guarding prisoners was also more of a male - related task.
• 7.2: African Americans, both free and enslaved, served in the armies of the British and the Americans. Hessians were German mercenaries for the British, Spanish conquistadors were from an earlier era (16th - 18th centuries but not related to the American Revolution in this way), and indentured servants were a different labor group not typically associated with military service in this context.
• 7.3 - 7.6:
• Abigail Adams is known for writing letters to her husband (John Adams) asking for women's rights in government.
• Martha Washington, as the wife of a general (George Washington), made much - needed socks for soldiers.
• Mary Ludwig Hays, also known as “Molly Pitcher,” helped fire a cannon after her husband was injured.
• Phillis Wheatley was a poet who wrote patriotic poems.
