It might be D but I think it's B

Although the french and american did join forces, the ratio then became 3:1

Answer 19

D was the correct answer, I agree with Kat that the French and Americans joined forces.

This question is based on the lesson 2.07 and in that lesson, a paragraph on page 2 quotes " French ships blocked the British from receiving new supplies by sea and also kept them from escaping. " so D is the best choice here.

Answer 20

The answer is in fact D.

Yes, Americans outnumbered the British 2:1. But the French-American forces joined together and blocked the British of supply, causing them to not get solders or essentials.
