Answer: 1.B
2.C
3. I am not really sure about the 3rd one.
Explanation:
Both countries were trying to colonize the Americas and they fought over land
Well, after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Russia sided with Serbia and Germany sided with Austria-Hungary (World War I).

The answer is "a) The law was the first direct tax imposed on the American colonists."
