<span>The Committees of Correspondence were the American colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the Revolutionary War. In 1764, Boston formed the earliest Committee of Correspondence to encourage opposition to Britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of American paper money. The following year, New York formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the Stamp Act. In 1773, the Virginia House of Burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. The exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and helped bring about the formation of the First Continental Congress in 1774.</span>

Naily [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. Public compliance; private acceptance.

Explanation:

Public compliance can be understood as the social phenomena that occur when a group of people superficially agree on a particular thing, usually to get social approval.

<u>Private acceptance can be understood as a more personal change in attitude that individuals experience when they are fundamentally convinced of something they may have not seen before, but do not express it loudly and socially. </u>

In this particular case, when the participants of the standard experiments were able to write their responses on a piece of paper, conformity dropped dramatically. This means that during the experiments the level of public compliace were high while the levels of private acceptance were low.

In conclusion, the correct answer is a. Public compliance; private acceptance.
