Explanation:

• Question 10: The French and Indian War ended with the Treaty of Paris 1763. The Magna Carta was in 1215 (not related to this war), the Stamp Act (1765) and Tea Act (1773) were post - war British taxation measures, and the Intolerable Acts (1774) were punitive measures against Massachusetts.
• Question 11: After the French and Indian War (which was costly for Britain), Britain began taxing the colonies to pay the war debt. It was not to reward colonists (A), colonists did not have all the money (B), and ending slavery (C) was not a motivation for these taxes at this time.
• Question 12: The Proclamation of 1763 blocked settlement west of the Appalachians. It had nothing to do with banning tea (A), forcing colonists to fight (B) in a general sense (it was about land), raising cotton prices (D) (not its focus), or making voting illegal (E).

Answer:

1. D. Treaty of Paris 1763
2. D. To Pay the war debt from the costly French Indian War
3. C. Blocked settlement west of the Appalachians
