Let’s match each term or person with the correct description.
We’ll go one by one:
1.
Francis Marion – He was a Revolutionary War hero known for hit-and-run tactics in the South.
→ Look at Description E: “He was well known for launching surprise attacks on vulnerable British communication and supply lines in the South” — that fits Francis Marion.
✔ So, 1 → E
2.
Benedict Arnold – He was once an American general who later betrayed America and joined the British.
→ Description D says: “One of America’s most effective officers, he became a traitor when joined the British army” — perfect match.
✔ So, 2 → D
3.
James Armistead – He was an enslaved man who spied for the Americans during the war.
→ Description G: “He was a slave who later became a spy and provided the Americans with valuable intelligence about British plans” — yes!
✔ So, 3 → G
4.
France – A European nation that helped the colonies during the Revolution. Also, the Treaty of Paris (ending the war) was signed in Paris, France.
→ Two descriptions fit France: A (“provided wartime aid”) and F (“Treaty of Paris was signed in this European Nation”). But since we can only use each letter once, let’s check which is more specific.
Description F is very specific to France as the location of the treaty signing.
But wait — Description A also fits France. Let’s hold off and see if another term needs A.
Actually, Spain also gave aid — so maybe both A and F are for France? No — we have to assign uniquely.
Looking again: Description F says “the Treaty of Paris was signed in this European Nation” — that’s definitely France.
So 4 → F
Then who gets A? Spain also gave aid — so Spain → A? Let’s check.
Wait — Description A: “This was one of the European nations who provided wartime aid to the colonies” — could be France OR Spain.
But Description F is uniquely France. So assign F to France.
Then Spain must get A? But let’s keep going.
5.
Guerrilla Warfare – This is a type of warfare using small groups, ambushes, sabotage, raids.
→ Description B: “A type of warfare in which small groups of militia... use military tactics such as ambush, sabotage, and raids” — exact match.
✔ So, 5 → B
6.
Spain – Also gave aid to the colonies.
→ Description A: “one of the European nations who provided wartime aid” — yes, Spain did.
✔ So, 6 → A
7.
General Cornwallis – British commander who surrendered at Yorktown.
→ Description H: “He was the British commander who surrendered at Yorktown” — perfect.
✔ So, 7 → H
8.
“Swamp Fox” – That’s the nickname for Francis Marion.
→ Description C: “This was the nickname given to Francis Marion” — yes!
✔ So, 8 → C
Now double-check:
- 1 (Francis Marion) → E ✔️
- 2 (Benedict Arnold) → D ✔️
- 3 (James Armistead) → G ✔️
- 4 (France) → F ✔️
- 5 (Guerrilla Warfare) → B ✔️
- 6 (Spain) → A ✔️
- 7 (General Cornwallis) → H ✔️
- 8 (“Swamp Fox”) → C ✔️
All matched correctly!
Final Answer:
1-E, 2-D, 3-G, 4-F, 5-B, 6-A, 7-H, 8-C
