Explanation:

First Question: "Colonists paid taxes on..."

During the colonial period, Britain imposed various taxes on the American colonists. The Stamp Act taxed legal documents, the Sugar Act taxed sugar, and the Tea Act (and related taxes) taxed tea. So colonists paid taxes on legal documents, sugar, and tea.

The American Revolutionary War had already begun (with battles like Lexington and Concord in 1775) before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. The Declaration announced their intent for independence, but the war was already ongoing. So the statement is false.

The Southern Colonies included Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Delaware was part of the Middle Colonies (along with New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania).

Answer:

D. all of the above
