Correct. The answer is a. The author’s main point in this section of the chapter is that Lord North's policies provoked a resurgence of colonial resistance and imperial repression that threatened to incite open warfare in America by 1774. When he imposed the Tea Act on the American colonies in 1773, colonists' resistance and the British empire’s response escalated the conflict once again, threatening to incite open war between Britain and the colonies on North American soil.

Correct. The answer is d. The author argues that, once Lord North took office in 1770 and made an effort to conciliate the colonies, conflict between Britain and Americans receded. She cites popular Patriot leader Sam Adams’s election loss to a conservative merchant during that period as evidence that the colonists had left the contentious issues of the 1760s behind.

Correct. The answer is b. After two years of relative peace, Britain’s response to the burning of the Gaspée incited new conflicts between it and the American colonies. The author suggests that, after the British committee investigating the case announced that it would try any suspects in Britain, colonial leaders perceived it as a violation of their right to trial by a jury of their peers and began to organize colonial protest.

Correct. The answer is d. To support her suggestion that the colonists' destruction of the tea in Boston Harbor in 1773 had “important consequences,” the author cites Lord North’s demand that Parliament issue the Coercive Acts. These acts, which enacted harsh punishments on Bostonians for their role in the destruction of the tea and truly did violate the colonists’ rights, led the Americans to mount a swift response to the crisis.

Correct. The answer is b. The author argues that New Englanders' response to the Powder Alarm in September 1774 showed how ready they were to take up arms against Britain. When false news spread that British troops had fired on men defending gunpowder in Boston, thousands of armed New Englanders streamed on foot to Boston to avenge what they thought was the first bloodshed of war, showing their willingness to kill or be killed in the face of a British clampdown.
