Explanation:

7.1)

To determine the four purposes of the First Continental Congress, we analyze each option:

• "create taxes to fund the Revolutionary War": The First Continental Congress was before the Revolutionary War's formal start, so this is incorrect.
• "come up with a plan of action against Britain’s oppression": Correct, as the Congress aimed to address British policies.
• "write the Declaration of Independence": The Second Continental Congress wrote this, so incorrect.
• "deliver a declaration of rights from the colonists to King George III": Correct, part of their actions.
• "meet personally with King George III": They did not meet him, so incorrect.
• "select the first President of the United States": This was after independence, incorrect.
• "boycott English goods": Correct, a key action to protest British policies.
• "create local committees to oversee compliance of Congress’ laws": Correct, to enforce boycotts and actions.

So the four correct options are: come up with a plan of action against Britain’s oppression, deliver a declaration of rights from the colonists to King George III, boycott English goods, create local committees to oversee compliance of Congress’ laws.

For the Second Continental Congress's contributions:

• "established a postal system": Correct, they set up a postal system.
• "added the lands that became the Northwest Territory": Done by the Articles of Confederation era, not Second Continental Congress.
• "printed money": Correct, to finance the war.
• "created a national court system": Not a contribution of this Congress.
• "created the financial market that became Wall Street": Not related to this Congress.
• "borrowed money from domestic and foreign sources": Correct, to fund the war effort.

So the three correct options are: established a postal system, printed money, borrowed money from domestic and foreign sources.

Answer:

• come up with a plan of action against Britain’s oppression
• deliver a declaration of rights from the colonists to King George III
• boycott English goods
• create local committees to oversee compliance of Congress’ laws
