Answer:

b. It ended any hope of peacefully resolving differences between England and the Americans.

c. The British recruited a larger army.

d. The colonial army quickly grew in size.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first battles of the American Revolution and as a result of the casualties on both sides, ended any hope of the differences between the British and Americans being resolved in a peaceful manner.

The British realized that they would need a larger army to defeat the rebellion and so recruited a larger one.

The Colonial army also realized the same and encouraged by their victory against the British, believed they could win the war. This led to a swelling of the Colonial army ranks.
