Question

why did britain send soldiers to boston in 1768? to keep order among the colonists. to collect taxes from the colonists. to train colonists in military tactics.

Explanation:

In 1768, tensions were high in Boston due to colonial protests against British policies (like the Townshend Acts). Britain sent soldiers to maintain order as colonists were resisting, and tax collection was more about enforcement via policies, not soldiers’ direct role here. Training colonists in military tactics was against British interests. So the reason was to keep order.

Answer:

A. To keep order among the colonists.
