○ 50
○ 5

Explanation:

First Question:

The Sugar Act (1764) revised the duty on foreign molasses (reduced from 6 to 3 pence per gallon), kept a high duty on foreign refined sugar, and prohibited foreign rum import. The Stamp Act was about taxes on printed materials, the Declaratory Act was about British authority over the colonies, and the Tea Act was about tea trade. So the correct option is the Sugar Act.

The Boston Massacre (1770) resulted in 5 deaths. The other options (500, 25, 50) do not match the historical record of this event.

Answer:

B. Sugar Act
