Answer 1

The correct response is:

Both groups made use of guerrilla-style tactics such as ambushes and fighting from cover.

During the French and Indian War, both the French and the American colonists utilized guerrilla tactics, often incorporating strategies such as ambushes and fighting from cover, which were effective in the North American terrain. Similarly, during the Revolutionary War, American patriots also adopted guerrilla tactics to combat British forces, especially given their familiarity with the landscape and their desire to offset the disadvantages of being less organized and less equipped than the British army.
