Answer 1

The piece of text evidence that best supports the answer to the previous question is:

"The military conflict itself, by dominating everything in its time, diminished other issues, made people choose sides in the one contest that was publicly important, forced people onto the side of the revolution whose interest in Independence was not at all obvious." (Paragraph 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

The previous question is not mentioned in the current conversation, but assuming it refers to a question about a topic related to the excerpt, this piece of text evidence best supports an answer related to the impact of the military conflict on the American Revolution. The excerpt explains how the military conflict dominated the time, forcing people to choose sides in the one contest that was publicly important, and how this caused people to support the revolution, even if they were not initially interested in independence. This shows the significance of the military conflict and how it influenced the outcome of the American Revolution.
