The answer that best summarizes George Washington's involvement with the Second Continental Congress is: "He was selected as the commander of the Continental Army."

To arrive at this answer, we can break down the options provided and analyze them individually:

- The first option states that George Washington was selected as the president of the Congress. However, this is not accurate. John Hancock served as the president of the Second Continental Congress.

- The second option states that Washington was the sole author of the Olive Branch Petition. While Washington was a member of the committee that drafted the petition, it is incorrect to say that he was the sole author.

- The third option correctly states that Washington was selected as the commander of the Continental Army. This is a significant role that he played during the Revolutionary War.

- The fourth option mentions Washington being selected to present the Olive Branch Petition to King George. While it is true that he was chosen as one of the delegates to present the petition to the king, this was not his most prominent involvement with the Second Continental Congress.

Therefore, the correct answer is that George Washington was selected as the commander of the Continental Army.
