trivia question Quick Question
When Tavington says that Benjamin was not the better man, who does Benjamin say was?




52 Finish this quote by Benjamin Martin: "You're right. My ____ were better men."
Answer: sons

He said this to Tavington right before he shoved a bayonet through his throat.
53 What is Jean's response to Gabriel's claim that the Redcoats were about to surrender?
Answer: "Perhaps. Now we will never know."

His statement sounds harsh and cruel, but it reveals his hidden sense of humor, and proves that he has been hurt by the British, and he wants revenge just as much as Martin does. It creates a subliminal link between them.
54 Who kills Gabriel, and what is he killed with?
Answer: Tavington - Sword

On horseback, Gabriel, and about ten other men, attack a British camp. Everyone, on both sides, is killed except Gabriel, Reverend, and Tavington. Tavington pulls out a pistol and shoots the Reverend, leaving himself and Gabriel. While the Reverend is falling to his death, he throws his rifle towards Gabriel. Gabriel catches the rifle, aims, and shoots Tavington. Tavington then falls to the ground. Gabriel grabs a knife out of a dead soldier and walks over to Tavington, who is laying lifeless on the ground. Gabriel thinks Tavington is dead (he's not). When Gabriel lunges to tear him apart with the knife, Tavington rolls over and sticks his sword out. Gabriel lunges right into it. Tavington retrieves his weapon from Gabriel's stomach and limps away. Minutes later, Gabriel's father finds Gabriel on the ground, barely alive. He rushes over and finds Gabriel with a hole from the sword in his stomach. They start talking, and Gabriel turns pale and dies. That was the second, and last, son of Martin's that died.
