Question

1. what was a significant outcome of the intolerable acts on colonial society?

a. it weakened the continental congress
b. it united the colonies against british policies
c. it decreased colonial resistance
d. it led to an increase in trade with britain

Explanation:

The Intolerable Acts were punitive measures by Britain against the colonies (especially after the Boston Tea Party). These acts were seen as oppressive, prompting the colonies to come together in opposition to British policies. Option a is incorrect as the Continental Congress was formed later to address such issues and was not weakened by the Intolerable Acts. Option c is wrong because the acts increased, not decreased, colonial resistance. Option d is incorrect as the acts were restrictive and did not lead to increased trade with Britain.

Answer:

b. It united the colonies against British policies
