Ok, so here I am stuck doing this Ap Us History homework when I encountred 2 puzzling questions in Chapter 6. Both are in the "Identification" section.

12.) Fortress bodly assaulted by General Wolfe, spelling doom for New France ________

13.) The "buckskin" colonial soldiers whose military success did nothing to alter British officers' contempt _______

Well, the problem with #12 is that the textbook makes no mention of James Wolfe attacking any "fortress," but it does say he attacked a "poorly guarded part of the rocky eminence protecting Quebec." The text goes on later to mention that James Wolfe fought French soldiers on the "plains of Abraham."

#13 just makes no sense. In effect, the writers of the guidebook are trying to make kids find an alternative term for colonial soldiers. Well, I would have put down "buckskins," but low and behold it is in the question so it cannot be used. I searched the text but could not find any term for the group of colonial soldiers other than "buckskins."

Once and a while I come across questions like these and I really question the competence of the writers of the guidebook. For example, a while back in Chapter 3 I encountered some problems that kept me searching for at least an hour before I decided to just look online for answers. Here's one I encountered;

10.) Villages where New England Indians who converted to Christianity were gathered ________

The problem with this is that the answer wasn't even mentioned until the next chapter, so I had to look throughout the chapter for a single word over and over. Honestly, I find that being forced to scan a chapter for a nonexistant word does not help me learn at all, it is just a pain in the . Anyways, maybe it's just my fault and the answers are really there, but I could not find them. Can anyone help?

Wow what a wonderful book. The bare basics of logic do not apply. :confused::mad:
