How was Quebec captured by Wolfe?
A long siege
A surprise attack
A naval battle
A cavalry charge
Answer
Quebec was taken by Wolfe through a bold night assault up a steep cliff, known as the Anse-au-Foulon, that had been thought to be impenetrable. This allowed the British forces to gain the high ground on the Plains of Abraham, where they met the French army in a decisive battle that secured British control of the city.
