Ellen · Answer 1

A. He captured Fort Duquesne.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Edward Braddock was fatally injured in the battle field and died of wounds. He insisted upon using open field tactics which turned out to be very fatal leading to the death of 1000 soldiers. He did ignore the early warnings of his aides regarding his strategy.

A British force led by General Edward Braddock, moving to take Fort Duquesne, was defeated by a force of French and Canadian troops under Captain Daniel Liénard de Beaujeu with its American Indian allies.

Consequently, he failed to capture Fort Duquesne. So statement A is not true.
