Let’s go through each question one by one using the map and what we know about the Revolutionary War.

---

Question 1: Philadelphia is ___ of Trenton.

Look at the map. Philadelphia is shown at the bottom left, and Trenton is near the top right (in New Jersey). So from Trenton’s perspective, Philadelphia is to the southwest.

✔ Correct answer: d. southwest

---

Question 2: After crossing the river, in which direction does Washington’s army travel?

The red arrow shows Washington’s army crossing the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey, then moving northeast toward Trenton.

✔ Correct answer: a. northeast

---

Question 3: Before they crossed the Delaware River, in which state were Washington and his troops?

The map labels “Washington’s Army Crossing” on the Pennsylvania side of the river. So before crossing, they were in Pennsylvania.

✔ Correct answer: Pennsylvania

---

Question 4: Washington and his army attacked the British in which state?

The battle happened at Trenton, which is labeled in New Jersey on the map. The British soldiers are also shown there.

✔ Correct answer: New Jersey

---

Question 5: On which holiday did George Washington and his army cross the Delaware River?

The map says the Battle of Trenton was December 25–26, 1776. That’s Christmas Day!

✔ Correct answer: Christmas

Question 6: After they crossed the Delaware River...

Look at the map again — the red arrow shows the army going straight from the river to Trenton. There’s no indication they split up or traveled through Pennsylvania again. The British didn’t cross the river — Washington did. And there’s no info about walking for over a week.

But wait — actually, historically, Washington’s army did march all night after crossing, but the map doesn’t show that. Let’s stick to what the map tells us: they crossed and went to attack Trenton. None of the options perfectly match the map except maybe… none? Wait — let’s read again.

Actually, option c says “split up into two groups.” The map only shows one arrow, so probably not. Option a says traveled through Pennsylvania — no, they left Pennsylvania. Option b — British didn’t cross. Option d — no time given.

Wait — this might be a trick. But looking back at history (and since this is a worksheet), the correct historical fact is that Washington’s army crossed and marched all night — but the map doesn’t say that. However, among the choices, none are clearly supported by the map alone, but if we use common knowledge taught in schools: Washington’s men walked all night — so “walked for over a week” is too long. Actually, it was one night.

Hmm — perhaps the intended answer is c? No, the map doesn’t show splitting.

Wait — let me check the map again. The red arrow is continuous — no split. So maybe the question expects us to know that they didn’t split, didn’t go back to PA, British didn’t cross, and they didn’t walk for a week — so maybe all are wrong? But that can’t be.

Actually, I think there’s a mistake in my thinking. Let me recall: After crossing, Washington’s army marched to Trenton — that’s it. So none of the options are correct based on the map? But that’s unlikely.

Wait — option c: “Washington’s army split up into two groups.” Historically, yes — part went to Trenton, part to Princeton later. But the map only shows Trenton. Since the worksheet is based on the map, and the map doesn’t show splitting, perhaps this question is flawed.

But let’s look at the other questions — they’re all directly from the map. For Q6, maybe the answer is none, but that’s not an option.

Actually, I think I made a mistake. Let me re-read the options:

a. traveled through Pennsylvania — no, they left PA.

b. British crossed — no, Washington crossed.

c. split into two groups — not shown on map.

d. walked for over a week — not indicated.

This is problematic. But in many textbooks, it’s taught that Washington’s army crossed and then marched to Trenton — so perhaps the best answer is that none are correct, but since we must choose, maybe the worksheet intends c? No.

Wait — I recall now: After crossing, Washington’s army did split — one group under him went to Trenton, another under Greene went to Princeton. But the map only shows Trenton. Since the worksheet is titled “Battle of Trenton,” and the map focuses on that, perhaps they expect us to say they didn’t split.

But let’s think differently. Maybe the answer is d? No, they crossed on Christmas night and attacked early morning — not a week.

I think there might be an error in the question, but for standard curriculum, the correct historical fact is that Washington’s army crossed and then marched to Trenton — so none of the options fit perfectly. However, upon second thought, option c is sometimes taught — but let’s check online or standard knowledge.

Actually, I remember now: In the actual event, Washington’s army did not split immediately after crossing; they all went to Trenton. The split came later for the Battle of Princeton. So for this map, which is only about Trenton, the answer should be that none are correct, but since we have to pick, perhaps the worksheet has a typo.

But let’s look at the answer choices again. Maybe I misread.

Another idea: Perhaps “after they crossed” means right after, and the map shows them going to Trenton, so no splitting. So maybe the answer is not listed, but that can’t be.

Wait — I found a better way: Let’s eliminate wrong answers.

- a: They didn’t travel through Pennsylvania after crossing — they were in NJ.
- b: British didn’t cross — Washington did.
- d: They didn’t walk for over a week — it was one night.
- c: Did they split? The map doesn’t show it, but historically, for the Trenton battle, they didn’t split — all went to Trenton.

So perhaps all are wrong, but that’s not possible.

I think I need to accept that for this worksheet, the intended answer might be c, but I’m not sure.

Upon double-checking historical facts: After crossing the Delaware, Washington’s army did not split; they all proceeded to Trenton. The split occurred later for the Princeton campaign. So for this context, c is incorrect.

But then what is the answer? Perhaps the question is designed to have no correct answer, but that’s unlikely.

Let’s read the question again: “After they crossed the Delaware River...”

And the map shows the army going from the river to Trenton — so they traveled to Trenton, which is in New Jersey, not Pennsylvania. So a is wrong.

b is wrong.

d is wrong.

c: split into two groups — not shown.

I think there might be a mistake, but for the sake of completing the worksheet, and since this is a common question, I recall that in some versions, the answer is that they marched all night, but that’s not an option.

Perhaps the answer is d, but "over a week" is too long.

Another thought: Maybe "walked for over a week" refers to the entire campaign, but the question says "after they crossed," which is specific.

I think I should go with the most logical choice based on the map: none, but since I must choose, and the map shows a single arrow, perhaps c is not correct.

Wait — let's look at the map carefully. The red arrow is one continuous line from the crossing point to Trenton. So no split. Therefore, c is incorrect.

This is confusing. Perhaps the answer is not among the options, but that can't be for a worksheet.

I recall now: In some educational materials, they say that after crossing, Washington's army divided into two columns to approach Trenton from different directions. Is that true?

Upon quick mental search: Yes! Historically, Washington split his force into two groups to attack Trenton from different sides. One group under himself, another under Greene. So even though the map shows one arrow, the historical fact is that they split.

So for educational purposes, the answer is likely c. Washington’s army split up into two groups.

✔ Correct answer: c

Question 7: When did the Battle of Trenton take place?

The map says December 25–26, 1776. The Declaration of Independence was signed in July 1776, so this was after that. Washington became president in 1789, and the British surrendered in 1781. So it was after the Declaration but before he became president and before surrender.

✔ Correct answer: a. after the signing of the Declaration of Independence
