They had a very large number of really smart Scots to help them out. Scots? Engineering? Same thing. The Scots were kind of like the Jews of the 18th century.

Both A and C are correct. Britain was not as devastated by the French Revolution as nearly every other major European power had been. That meant that Britain's economy was strong, it's politics were not corrupt and there was not constant violent outbreaks. And Britain's key island position (and relatively flat geographical area) made for easy transport of goods both throughout the country as well as overseas.

The first letter in Britain is a CAPITAL B! And the answer is (A) and we also had some real smart cookies around at the time! And a touch of what Boris Johnson said at the Olympic handover: The French see a table, and they think of having dinner. In Britain, give them a table and they invent Table Tennis!

The answer is A; Its not B, because Russia and Germany's populations were actually bigger. At the time, I think so was France's actually. Its not C because, Spain and France also have access to waterways and if anything, believe it or not when it comes to ocean going travel, Spain actually has an edge over Britain because the waters that surround the country are much calmer and easier to navigate. The legendary skill of British sailors, is due to the fact that it was tempered by having to sail rough waters that surround the island. Its certainly not D because at the time European countries all hated each other. In fact they still hate each other, only now they resolve their difference through football instead of cannonfire.
