Based on the below from the Wikipedia, I would agree with you.

As Solberg reports, "It immediately became the recognized revolutionary government, with its main task to conduct the war and lead the colonies ultimately to independence." [2] The Second Congress acted as the governing authority of a new nation by raising armies, directing strategy, coordinating the 13 states, appointing diplomats (it sent Benjamin Franklin to France), and making formal treaties (especially the alliance France in 1778).

Sorry to keep asking questions, but I am having my mid-term, and I have spent 2 days reviewing my packet. I just want to make sure my answers jive. Thanks so much

Which was an achievement of the Second Continental Congress?

a. Preparing a Declaration of Independence

c. establishing a strong central government
d. passing the Intolerable Acts.

I believe it is b. raising an army becasue they did establish a government, but it was not strong.

C

You are correct, the achievement of the Second Continental Congress was b. raising an American army. The passage you provided from Wikipedia supports this answer, stating that the Congress's main task was to conduct the war and lead the colonies to independence. They took on the responsibility of raising armies, directing strategy, and coordinating the 13 states in their fight for independence.

To answer questions like this, it can be helpful to carefully read the provided information and identify any relevant details that directly address the question. In this case, the passage specifically mentions the Congress's role in raising armies, which aligns with answer choice b.

Additionally, it's important to consider the context and eliminate options that are clearly incorrect. In this case, option d. passing the Intolerable Acts is incorrect because the Intolerable Acts were passed by the British Parliament, not the Second Continental Congress.

Remember to analyze the information provided and think critically to arrive at the correct answer. Good luck with your mid-term!
