Explanation:

The best way to merge/combine these two sentences is displayed through option A as it correctly links the two contrasting ideas with the use of subordinating conjunction 'however'. The use of 'however' prior to the dependent clause 'some remained neutral' indicates the disagreement or another side of the previous claim mentioned in the independent clause 'Most of the colonists took sides in the American Revolution'. Therefore, option A best reflects the most appropriate way to link the two sentences and offer an accomplished thought.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
