The Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 foreshadowed the rest of the Revolutionary War in that:
  1. The British unquestionably dominated on the battlefield.
  2. Battles were prolonged and casualties high.
  3. The British were better supplied, but the colonists had better strategy.
  4. It, like most Revolutionary War battles, occurred in Boston.
Explanation
Answer: C - The Battle of Bunker Hill foreshadowed the course of the war because the colonists had the tactical advantage of the using the land well, but the British were better supplied.

While the British won, it was much hard-fought battle than they had anticipated.
