Which of the following was true about the minutemen A there were more of them than British soldiers B They were not as well trained as the British soldier C They had trained as soldiers all their lives D They wore bright yellow uniforms with green stripes

Answer 1

The correct statement about the minutemen is:

B. They were not as well trained as the British soldiers.

Minutemen were colonial militia members who could be ready to fight at a moment's notice, but they did not have the extensive formal training that British soldiers typically had.

Here's a brief evaluation of the other statements:

• A. There were more of them than British soldiers. This was not consistently true; the number of minutemen could vary, and in many confrontations, British soldiers had the advantage in numbers.

• C. They had trained as soldiers all their lives. This is incorrect. While minutemen were citizens who trained for militia duty, they were not lifelong soldiers.

• D. They wore bright yellow uniforms with green stripes. This is false. Minutemen typically wore civilian clothing or had variations of military style, but they did not have a standardized uniform like the one described.
