Question 3 • IL-US History A

Which statement best describes the Siege of Boston in 1775?

Answer
A
The British tried to capture two important hills.
B
The Continental army lost many soldiers to desertion.
C
The British tried to take back the city from colonists.
D
Colonists tried to take back the city from the British.

Explanation

After the battles of Lexington and Concord, colonial forces surrounded Boston, which was held by the British. The siege was the colonists’ effort to drive the British out and regain control of the city. The British attempt to capture important hills describes the Battle of Bunker Hill, not the siege as a whole.
