1 Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnum villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brig

htly. Father and son were at chess; the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical chances, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire.
2 "Hark at the wind," said Mr. White, who, having seen a fatal mistake after it was too late, was amiably desirous of preventing his son from seeing it.

3 "I'm listening," said the latter grimly surveying the board as he stretched out his hand. "Check."

4 "I should hardly think that he's come tonight," said his father, with his hand poised over the board.

5 "Mate," replied the son.

6 "That's the worst of living so far out," balled Mr. White with sudden and unlooked-for violence; "Of all the beastly, slushy, out of the way places to live in, this is the worst. Path's a bog, and the road's a torrent. I don't know what people are thinking about. I suppose because only two houses in the road are let, they think it doesn't matter."

A) Within the small parlor, there is a warm fire burning and a mother, father, and son.
B) While Mr. White plays chess with his son, Mr. White becomes unraveled emotionally by his son beating him in chess.
C) A father and his son are playing chess, but the father is preoccupied with why an expected guest of his has not yet arrived.
D) A man named Mr. White is rather upset that he lives so far out in the country and his home has none of the modern conveniences.

A) The time of day is most likely mid-morning.

Why do you think that
Whitepunk [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The narrator of a "A Participant's First-Hand of Account the Boston Tea Party" describes two instances where citizens of Boston (Captain O'Connor and the tall, aged man) attempted to take tea of the boat for their own use rather than tossing it aboard as planned by the colonists. This angered the colonists because the plan was devised as a rebellion against Britain and the purpose was to prevent the taxed goods from entering the market. Stealing these goods rather than destroying them would contradict this purpose.

The quote that shows this purpose is in paragraph 2 of the account, "On the day preceding  the seventeenth, there was a meeting of the citizens of the county of Suffolk, convened at one of the churches in Boston, for the purpose of consulting on what measures might be considered expedient to prevent the landing of the tea, or secure the people from the collection of the duty".

Note: "Collection of the duty" as used in this sentence is used to refer a tax on imported goods entering a market.
