Answer 2

D. George Washington was appointed as the commander of the Continental Army.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Second Continental Congress met in May of 1775. Representatives from all thirteen colonies were there. Though they did not want to break away from Britain yet, they were well aware that it would possibly come to that and that they needed to be ready in case war broke out. The Congress decided to create it's own army to be prepared and decided to name George Washington as the commander of the Continental Army.
