Answer 1

The correct response is: By gaining control of Quebec, the British would disrupt French supplies from reaching forts further north.

Capturing Quebec was crucial for the British as it would significantly weaken the French military presence in North America by cutting off their supply lines and communication routes, ultimately contributing to the British victory in the French and Indian War.
