Question

2/9 when was the quartering act passed and what was its primary purpose? 1770, to tax colonial goods. 1765, to house and supply british soldiers in the american colonies. 1754, to fund the french and indian war

Explanation:

The Quartering Act was passed in 1765. Its primary purpose was to require the American colonies to provide housing, food, and supplies for British soldiers stationed in the colonies. The yellow option (1770, to tax colonial goods) is incorrect as that describes the Townshend Acts or similar tax - related measures. The cyan option (1754, to fund the French and Indian War) is incorrect as 1754 is related to the start of the French and Indian War and the Act in question is not for funding it. The purple option correctly states the year and purpose.

Answer:

B. 1765, to house and supply British soldiers in the American colonies. (Note: Assuming the purple option is labeled as B for this multiple - choice context. If the original labels were different, adjust the identifier accordingly, but the text of the option is as above.)
