Answer 1

The correct response is:

**The American soldiers were able to use cannons captured at Fort Ticonderoga to intimidate the British.**

The capture of Fort Ticonderoga by American forces in May 1775 provided them with much-needed artillery, which was then transported to Boston and used to strengthen the American positions against the British troops, ultimately helping to lay the groundwork for future successes in the Revolutionary War.
