Answer 1

The statement that represents an exception regarding British advantages moving into the Revolutionary War is:

They had the French to help as an ally.

In fact, during the early stages of the Revolutionary War, the French were not allied with the Americans; it was only later, after several American victories and as the war progressed, that France formally allied with the American colonies in 1778. The other options listed were indeed advantages that Britain had at the onset of the war.
