Answer 1

Checked:
- Allied leaders could go forward with their plans to invade France. — True. Allied air and naval control made a cross‑Channel invasion (D‑Day) possible.
- American troops and supplies reached Europe. — True. Winning the Battle of the Atlantic secured the convoys that brought men and materiel to Europe.
- By 1945, Allied bombers had reduced Germany’s capability to produce war materials. — True. Strategic bombing severely damaged German industry, oil production and transportation by 1945.

Not checked:
- German submarines broke the Allied blockade of the North Sea. — False. U‑boats caused heavy losses early on but never broke Allied control of Atlantic supply lines; Allied tactics and technology eventually turned the tide.
