what was the first continental congress?
a group of colonial delegates assembled in 1774 that called for a total boycott of all british goods
the meeting arranged between british and colonial forces to negotiate the end of the revolutionary war
the british government’s lawmaking body for the colonies prior to 1776
a loose affiliation of small farmers and artisans that organized protests against british rule between 1770 and 1774

Explanation:

For the first question: The Boston Tea Party was a protest against the Tea Act, which gave the British East India Company a monopoly on tea exports to the colonies, undercutting colonial merchants. The tax on printed items was the Stamp Act, unrelated to this event; removing soldiers did not happen, and the Boston Massacre was an earlier separate incident.
For the second question: The First Continental Congress was convened in 1774 by colonial delegates to coordinate resistance to British policies, including a boycott of British goods. It predated the Revolutionary War's end, was not a British governing body, and was not a group of farmers/artisans.

Answer:

1. British government's decision to grant the East India Company a monopoly on the export of tea from Britain.
2. a group of colonial delegates assembled in 1774 that called for a total boycott of all British goods
