How many black Loyalists were among those who came north seeking a better life?

  1. About 3,000

  2. Over 5,000

  3. Less than 1,000

  4. Approximately 4,500

The correct answer is: About 3,000

While there is not a definitive number on the exact count of black Loyalists who sought a better life in the north, estimates range from 3,000 to 4,500. This is why option A, "About 3,000," is the most accurate response. Option B, "Over 5,000," is incorrect because it overestimates the number. Option C, "Less than 1,000," is incorrect because it underestimates the number. Option D, "Approximately 4,500," may also seem like a reasonable answer, but since it includes the word "approximately" it does not provide an exact number and is less accurate compared to option A.
