question 1

it forced colonists to only follow the british kings church
it ended all disagreements about religion in the colonies.
it encouraged people to think for themselves about faith and authority.
it caused colonists to completely reject religion.

Explanation:

The Great Awakening was a religious revival in the 18th - century American colonies. It emphasized personal religious experience over institutionalized religion. It was not about forcing colonists to follow a particular church (as in the first option). Disagreements about religion did not end (second option is incorrect). And it did not cause a complete rejection of religion (fourth option is wrong). Instead, it encouraged people to have a more personal and self - directed approach to faith and to question traditional religious and social authorities.

Answer:

It encouraged people to think for themselves about faith and authority.
