Answer:

The colonists objected to the monopoly on tea and the import duty (tariff).  

Explanation:

In 1776, the United States gained independence by signing a declaration on July 4 that freed the 13 colonies from English rule.  England overcame France in the Seven Years War (1756 - 1763), but, faced with the high costs of maintaining the conquered territories, imposed a series of tributes on the American colony.  Among them, the Sugar Law (Stamp duty on sugar not coming from the English Antilles), Seal Law (all documents originating in the colony, such as contracts, newspapers and trades, would receive a seal from the English crown) and Law of the Tea (the settlers could only buy tea monopolized by the Company of the East Indies, of the English merchants).  Faced with all these laws, revolts have arisen. One of them, against the Tea Law, was the "Boston tea party."

Well, from among the choices given your answer is going to be B. This is because the British had been taxing people and taking tea and selling it. So everyone threw it overboard as a sign of rebellion.

<span>. Basically what it did was to decrease the number of peasants who were forced to work on the landed people's property for very low wages. After the plague, there was a build up in the middle class as the peasants, now in short supply, could bargain for higher wages so, in turn, prices of farm goods increased, but the peasants got more status.</span>

How has Latin influence the world today? Choose four correct answers.
ddd [48]

Answer:

The most important influence of the Latin language is that many words, especially in technical and scientific fields, come from Latin.

Explanation:

For example, the world Agriculture from the Latin <em>agricultura</em>, which is at the same time a composed word: form <em>ager</em>, meaning field, and <em>culture, </em>meaning cultivation.

Like this, we have many other examples, because Latin was for thousands of years, the lingua franca of Europe, much like English is the lingua franca of the world today. Scholars, scientists, students, monks, and so on, often wrote in Latin, instead of their native languages.
