Answers A and C.
Washington had trouble recruiting because the war’s outcome was uncertain and pay was low, and many state militias were unwilling to serve long terms or fight far from home. (It wasn’t a requirement of long enlistments—short enlistments were actually a major problem—while British threats tended to spur, not prevent, enlistment.)
