Mr. Revere And I

Most of the colonists felt angry and offended about the presence of British troops in their city. This is because the colonists viewed the British troops as an oppressive force, imposing unjust laws and restrictions on them. The colonists believed that their rights and freedoms were being violated, leading to widespread resentment and hostility towards the British troops. The anger and offense felt by the colonists eventually contributed to the American Revolution and the fight for independence from British rule.

At the beginning of the book, Sherry's loyalties lie with England. This can be inferred from the fact that England is listed as one of the options and is the correct answer. Without further context or information about the book, it is difficult to provide a more specific explanation.

The patriots dumped tea into the harbor to show the British they did not approve of their taxes. This act, known as the Boston Tea Party, was a protest against the Tea Act imposed by the British government, which gave a monopoly on tea trade to the East India Company and increased taxes on tea. By destroying the tea, the patriots wanted to send a strong message to the British that they were not willing to accept these unfair taxes and infringements on their rights.

Paul Revere's ability to ride a horse is not dependent on whether or not he had Sherry. The statement implies a causal relationship between knowing how to ride a horse and having Sherry, which is incorrect. Therefore, the answer is False.

Sherry became the horse of Nat Sime because her owner had gambled excessively and needed to sell her in order to repay his debts.

The correct answer is "She was given silver horseshoes." This is not a reason why Sherry recovered from her harsh treatment because silver horseshoes do not have any direct impact on her physical or emotional well-being. The other options, such as receiving grooming and medical treatment, love and attention from the children, and enough food, are all valid reasons that contributed to her recovery.

Paul Revere helped those mistreated by the British army to get away and begin a new life.

The statement is false because it was Paul Revere, not Sherry, who rode on the "Midnight Ride" to warn the patriots about the approaching British army. Sherry's involvement in this event is not mentioned or documented in history.

Sherry ran away when she met her old friend Ajax and her previous owner, Sir Cedric because she realized she wanted to be free from British rule, just like the patriots. This suggests that Sherry had a change of heart and no longer wanted to be associated with her previous owner and the British soldiers. She likely felt a strong desire for independence and freedom, aligning herself with the patriots who were fighting against British rule. This realization prompted her to run away and distance herself from her old life.

Sherry escaped from the British troops with the help of some skunks. This implies that the skunks emitted a foul odor that repelled the troops, allowing Sherry to make her escape.
