Explanation:

To answer this, we need to provide the standard definitions for each vocabulary word related to the American Revolution:

1. Boycott

A refusal to buy, use, or participate in (something) as a way of protesting.

2. Repeal

To officially cancel or revoke (a law, tax, etc.) usually by a legislative act.

3. Townshend Acts

A series of British laws passed in 1767 that imposed taxes on imported goods (like glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea) to raise revenue in the colonies and assert British authority.

4. Boston Massacre

An incident in 1770 where British soldiers shot and killed several colonists in Boston after a confrontation escalated; it fueled anti - British sentiment.

5. Boston Tea Party

A 1773 protest where colonists (disguised as Native Americans) dumped British tea into Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act and British taxation without representation.

6. Tea Act

A 1773 British law that gave the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the colonies, which angered colonists and led to the Boston Tea Party.

7. First Continental Congress

A 1774 meeting of delegates from 12 of the 13 colonies in Philadelphia to discuss a unified response to British policies; it set the stage for colonial unity and resistance.

8. Bayonet

A long, knife - like weapon that can be attached to the end of a rifle, used in close - combat fighting.

If you need to fill the table, you can use these definitions. For example, for “Boycott” in the “Definition” column, you would write the definition of boycott as above, and similarly for the other terms.
