B) Jean-Baptiste Rochambeau
C) John Burgoyne
D) Benedict Arnold

Respuesta :

Benedict Arnold was able the break the British line on the enemy's right hand.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. At the Battle of Saratoga, General Benedict Arnold was able to break the British line on the enemy's right-hand flank.

Explanation:

In the summer of 1777, Arnold played an important role in the Battle of Saratoga in which a British army was commanded by General John Burgoyne. This battle ended in an American victory, largely through Arnold's tactical action, who led the American left flank that broke into the British enemy lines. The campaign's chief commander, General Horatio Gates, did not, however, give Arnold the credit he deserved, thus angering him and maybe causing the situation that would eventually led to Arnold's betrayal some years later.
