b. they pledged eternal loyalty to the crown in the hopes of gaining british favor.
c. they tried petitioning, arguing, and pleading with the british ministry and crown.
d. they appealed to common british citizens for public support of their cause for independence.

Explanation:

Patrick Henry was a key figure in the American - independence movement. The colonists had previously tried peaceful means like petitioning, arguing, and pleading with the British government to address their grievances. They did not try to scare the British with minor insurrections as a first - step, nor did they simply pledge eternal loyalty to gain favor. Appealing to common British citizens for support of independence was not among the main early efforts.

Answer:

C. They tried petitioning, arguing, and pleading with the British ministry and crown.
