Read the thesis statement from a student’s informative essay on George Washington. General George Washington gained valuable military experience in wars and battles that occurred years earlier than the American Revolution.

Which sentence could be used as a reason to support the thesis?
1.During the Revolutionary War, Washington's troops were greatly outnumbered by British forces.
2.Washington was elected president after the Revolutionary War.
3.Washington led the Battle of Yorktown during the Revolutionary War.
4.before the American Revolution, Washington commanded Virginia’s troops during the French and Indian War.

Correct answer is 4.before the American Revolution, Washington commanded Virginia’s troops during the French and Indian War.

Explanation:

Option 4 is the only correct answer, because it implies that even before Revolution that started in 1775 Washington participated in wars, in which he gained military experience. As French and Indian war lasted from 1754 until 1763 it is the correct answer, as it is the only event here that happened before revolution.

All other options are connected with the events during the Revolution (1 and 3) or after it (2).

this means that germany had to pay the allied countries. reparations are/is essentially payment for something that they have done wrong, so after ww1, germany was forced to pay reparations so they could replenish the allied countries resources' that they had lost during the war.
