Answer 1

Answer: Because the colonies are young and United APEX

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: C. Because the colonies are young and United

When a colonies is young, they are much more likely to take risky behaviour since they still haven't fully doctrined by British principle.
The fact that the colonies are united means that they would obtained a lot of people that volunteered for the war and increase their chance of winning.
