Explanation:

Question 7

To answer this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The Boston Massacre involved British soldiers, not Native Americans, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: Propaganda after the Boston Massacre was about the event, not about becoming a delegate, so this is incorrect.
• Option c: Boycotts were part of resistance but not the propaganda used to rally after the Boston Massacre. The question is about propaganda (like Revere's engraving), so this is incorrect.
• Option d: Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre portrayed the British soldiers (redcoats) as bloodthirsty and the colonists as innocent, which was propaganda to rally colonists. This matches how the Sons of Liberty used propaganda.

Analyzing each option:

• Option a: Loyalists supported Britain, but the Tea Act protest was by colonists against Britain, so this is incorrect.
• Option b: Sending delegates to Continental Congress was a response to broader issues, not specifically the Tea Act protest. The Tea Act protest was more direct action.
• Option c: Daughters of Liberty's sewing circles were for boycotting British goods (like making homespun), not a direct protest against the Tea Act. The Tea Act protest involved destroying tea.
• Option d: The Boston Tea Party (led by Sons of Liberty) involved dumping British tea into the harbor, which was a protest against the Tea Act. This matches the colonists' anger over the Tea Act.

Analyzing each option:

• Option a: The Olive Branch Petition was after the Intolerable Acts, and its rejection was by King George, but it's not the punishment for the Boston Tea Party. The punishment for the Tea Party was the Intolerable Acts.
• Option b: Washington D.C. didn't exist then, and British troops occupied Boston, not Washington D.C.
• Option c: The Intolerable Acts (Coercive Acts) were passed by British Parliament to punish Massachusetts (and colonists) for the Boston Tea Party. This is correct.
• Option d: The British navy blockade was not around New York City as a punishment for the Tea Party. The punishment was the Intolerable Acts.

Answer:

d) They portrayed the violence as a deadly encounter between innocent Americans and bloodthirsty redcoats in Paul Revere’s famous engraving.
