Explanation:

• First Question:
• After the French and Indian War, the French (who were allies and trading partners of some Native Americans in parts of North America) were largely removed from the North American mainland. So, Native Americans lost allies and trading partners.
• The Proclamation of 1763 was somewhat of a facade. Despite it, colonists still began to encroach more on Native American lands as British control expanded and population grew.
• Payments to Native Americans for land use by European powers did not increase. In fact, with the French gone, there was less incentive for some European - American groups to pay fairly (as the French had sometimes done to maintain good relations for trade). And there was no period of peace; conflicts over land and resources continued.
• Second Question:
• Colonists began smuggling goods as a way to avoid the new taxes and strict tax enforcement by the British. Refusing to trade with Britain was not a common immediate response (as trade was still important in many ways). Making new trade agreements was not the main form of response to taxes, and trading with Native Americans was not a direct response to British tax policies.
• Third Question (assuming the third option is "a law increasing the tax on molasses" based on historical knowledge):
• The Sugar Act was a law passed by the British Parliament. It actually increased the tax enforcement (and in some interpretations, had implications for the tax burden, for example, by cracking down on smuggling which was a way to avoid previous molasses taxes, effectively increasing the 'effective' tax as smuggling was harder).

Answer:

• First Question:
• Native Americans lost allies and trading partners.
• More colonists began settling in Native American lands.
• Second Question: Colonists began smuggling goods.
• Third Question (assuming the third option is "a law increasing the tax on molasses"):
• a law passed by the British Parliament.
• a law increasing the tax on molasses.
