Brief Explanations

The first row shows a demand for more revenue by Members of Parliament leading to the Declaratory Act asserting Parliament's taxing power. The second row shows American opposition to Parliament - only colonial assemblies can tax, and Parliament responds with the Townshend Acts. The third row's action is the Tea Act, and a common response was the Boston Tea Party (not given in the table). The fourth - row action is unspecified but the response is the Coercive Acts as a punishment for colonial unrest. For the third row, a common response was American colonists' protest, like the Boston Tea Party where colonists dumped British tea into the harbor. For the fourth - row action, it could be the Boston Tea Party which led to the Coercive Acts.

Answer:

For the third row response: American colonists protest (e.g., Boston Tea Party).
For the fourth - row action: Boston Tea Party.
