On the first question of trivia on the American Revolution, you have two answers that could reasonably be correct. The answer you have is that the militiamen won at the Battle of Lexington, and your reasonng behind it states that inded, they won the Battle of Lexington "and Concord" by driving the British from the field. This is correct. However, the way the multiple choice answers are worded, "The Red Coats at the Battle of Lexington" is also correct because at Lexington, not counting what happened later at Concord, the Red Coats drove the militiamen from the Lexington Green. Therefore, both answers are correct depending on how they are read. As a history buff, especially the Revolution, I have always read and written about Lexington and Concord as being two seperate battles, albeit by the same forces on the same day.
