3. What New England town is best known for being the site of a battle that kicked off the American Revolution, followed closely by its fruit cultivation? 3. I think they want Concord (for the grapes) but it's actually Lexington. "The site of *A* battle" not the site of *THE* battle. The British and Americans shot at each other in Concord, Lexington, and several other places that day. Either the whole thing was one battle, or there were multiple battles that included Concord, but either way Concord was the site of *A* battle.
