Answer 1

James' popularity with the colonists allowed him to "stand against the wave of revolutions long after other colonies had rebelled" although it should be noted that he wasn't able to "escape" all of the uprisings. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is option D) "stand against the wave of revolutions long after other colonies had rebelled.". James Wright was the last British Royal Governor of the Province of Georgia. The popularity of James Wright among the colonists allowed him to regain control of his colony during the American Revolutionary War, which converted him in the only Royal Governor of the Thirteen Colonies at that time.
