B. He commanded the army that won the Revolutionary War.
C. He wrote the constitution the country lives under today.
D. He was chosen as the nation’s first president.

Answer 1

A. He discovered what became known as the "New World"

Step-by-step explanation:

Columbus was an explorer, so he couldn't have written the constitution or been the first president. He died 1508, which was almost 100 years in before the first colony was even founded in 1607. So the answer has to be A.
