The correct response is:
**The Continental Army became stronger, prouder, and better trained there.**
Valley Forge was significant because it was during the harsh winter of 1777-1778 that the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, endured severe conditions but emerged more disciplined and united. The training and experiences gained at Valley Forge, especially under the guidance of figures like Baron von Steuben, helped to improve their military effectiveness and morale, which were crucial for the success of the American Revolutionary War.
