Answer 1

As a result of the Intolerable Acts, A, the port of Boston was closed.

To be able to get this answer, we must first know what the Intolerable Acts were. The Intolerable Acts were a series of laws meant to punish to colonists, especially in Boston, after the Boston Tea Party. The British Parliament hoped that this would 'scare the other colonists' into a friendlier relationship with Britain (one where the colonists weren't rebelling). Nothing went as the British planned, and this eventually lead to the Revolutionary War. But, one of the acts that the Intolerable Acts stated was that the Port of Boston would be closed until the colonists paid for the destroyed tea.
