Answer 2

B) To form a continental army.

Explanation:

The job of the Second Continental Congress was to form a continental army.

The First Continental Congress was created before the tensions between the colonies and Great Britain really started to kick off. They were the ones who actually dealt with how to respond to the Intolerable Acts, not the Second Continental Congress.

The Second Continental Congress focused more on things during the Revolutionary War, which would include creating an army, getting money for the war, and other important war necessities. The Second Continental Congress ended up having a lot of achievements and did very well, becoming even more famous and looked up to than the First Continental Congress.
