The appropriate answer is B. steam boats could travel against the current on a river. This statement means that steam boats could travel upstream. The steam engine in steam boats allowed them to travel upstream possibly against a strong current. Sail boats rely on wind or the downstream flow of the water to move it from one location to the other. The invention of the steamboat revolutionised transportation of goods and people on large navigable rivers.

What happened at the battle at Breed's Hill and Bunker Hill?
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, during the Siege of Boston in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named after Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts, which was peripherally involved in the battle. It was the original objective of both the colonial and British troops, though the majority of combat took place on the adjacent hill which later became known as Breed's Hill.[5][6]

On June 13, 1775, the leaders of the colonial forces besieging Boston learned that the British were planning to send troops out from the city to fortify the unoccupied hills surrounding the city, which would give them control of Boston Harbor. In response, 1,200 colonial troops under the command of William Prescott stealthily occupied Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill. During the night, the colonists constructed a strong redoubt on Breed's Hill, as well as smaller fortified lines across the Charlestown Peninsula.[7]
