Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Both had differences about cutting ties with Britain.

Patriots and Loyalists views were the same in that both had differences about cutting ties with Britain.

Loyalists were people that supported the English crown presence in the colonies. Some people called them "King's men" because they remained loyal to the King of England. They considered that colonies would not have the measures and capabilities to successfully operate without the intervention of Britain.

On the other hand, Patriots were the American colonists that supported the idea of independence. They were also called "The Whigs," who rejected the presence of the British government in the American colonies and were upset by the heavy taxation imposed by the King and the fact that they had no voice and representation in the British Parliament.
