Question

which of the following actions did the first continental congress take in 1774?
○ delegates discussed ways to end boycotts to avoid war with britain.
○ delegates created a plan of self - government for the colonies.
○ delegates wrote an official protest against the intolerable acts.
○ delegates called for acceptance of housing british officials.

Explanation:

The First Continental Congress was convened in 1774 in response to Britain's Intolerable Acts, which were punitive measures against Massachusetts. The core actions included formal protest of these acts, coordinating colonial resistance, and affirming colonial rights.

• The first option is incorrect: the Congress organized boycotts, not ended them.
• The second option is incorrect: a formal self-government plan was not created here (this came later with documents like the Articles of Confederation).
• The fourth option is incorrect: the Congress pushed back against British demands like housing officials, not accepted them.

Answer:

Delegates wrote an official protest against the Intolerable Acts.
