Explanation:

For the Coercive Act (Intolerable Acts) fill - ins:

1. "meant to punish colonists for resisting British authority" - The Coercive Acts were a response to colonial resistance (like the Boston Tea Party), so the British wanted to punish the colonists.
2. "forced colonists to let British soldiers stay in their homes (quarter)" - This is part of the Quartering Act, which was one of the Coercive Acts, requiring colonists to provide lodging for British troops.
3. "Boston had harshest treatment; no town meetings allowed, closed the harbor so nothing could get in or out (including food/supplies). Tried to cut off from other colonies" - Boston was the center of colonial resistance, so the Port Act (closing Boston Harbor) and other restrictions were aimed at it. Closing the harbor would stop the import of food and supplies.
4. "Drew all colonies together instead of forcing apart" - The Intolerable Acts actually united the colonies in their opposition to British rule, as other colonies felt sympathy for Boston.

For the Quebec Act:

1. "Created a government for Quebec and extended territory south to the Ohio River (ignoring colonists claiming land in the region)" - The Quebec Act established a government for Quebec and expanded its territory, which angered colonists who had land claims in the Ohio River Valley.
