Explanation:

Situation #1:

Loyalists were colonists who remained loyal to Britain. Having family in England and wanting them to come to America suggests a connection to and loyalty toward Britain, so this is a Loyalist.

Situation #2:

Patriots opposed British policies (like the Acts imposed by King George III). Being against these Acts shows opposition to British rule, so this is a Patriot.

Situation #3:

Patriots were willing to use force (like in the Revolution) to remove British soldiers from the colonies. Supporting force to rid the colonies of British soldiers aligns with Patriot actions.

Situation #4:

Loyalists often preferred peaceful protest or staying loyal, and some Loyalists might favor non - violent means to resolve issues rather than armed conflict. Favoring peaceful protest can be a Loyalist stance (as they didn't want to break from Britain violently).

Situation #5:

Loyalists included businessmen who relied on trade with England. Not wanting to lose trade with England shows a desire to maintain ties with Britain, so this is a Loyalist.

Answer:

Situation #1: Loyalist
Situation #2: Patriot
Situation #3: Patriot
Situation #4: Loyalist
Situation #5: Loyalist
