The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

the strengths and weaknesses of the Continental Army

during the Revolutionary War.

Strengths.

At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, there were practically no strengths in the Continental Army. We can mention one, the Patriotism and courage of the colonists that fought for the Continental Army.

As the war advanced, one important strength was that European countries such as France and Spain helped the Continental Army financially and with supplies.

The experience and courage of General George Washington.

Weaknesses.

The lack of money, problems of transportation, and poor organization. Under these deplorable conditions, the Continental army had to use the Quartermaster Department to help solve some problems. It asked the states to provide for supplies. Patriots responding sending blankets, food, and other supplies by the effort was not enough. There was no good communication and organization between the Quartermaster and the government of the colonies.

General George Washington knew the Continental Army soldiers were poorly trained and had minimum combat experience. That is why Washington called the help of Prussian military Official Baron Von Steuben during the winter of 1778 in Valley Forge. This Prussian military really helped to train the American troops.
