Which statement accurately describes George Washington?

• A. He was the first President of the United States.
• B. He strongly supported political parties.
• C. He never commanded the Continental Army.
• D. He opposed the Constitution.

Answer: (A)

Washington’s place in history in this context is his role as the first President of the United States. After leading American forces to victory as commander-in-chief in the Revolutionary War, he helped establish the new government under the Constitution and became the nation’s first president in 1789. That makes the statement correct. The other options don’t fit the record: he did command the Continental Army, he supported the Constitution, and he warned against political parties rather than endorsing them.
