Answer:

To solve this, we match each description to the correct term:

1. The document where colonists expressed complaints and declared independence is the Declaration of Independence.
2. The person who represented Massachusetts, was a lawyer, and helped edit the Declaration is John Adams.
3. The person who was a lawyer, spoke against British acts, edited the Declaration, and did the kite experiment is Benjamin Franklin.
4. The document with colonists’ complaints (before independence) is the Olive Branch Petition? No, wait—“grievances” + declare independence: the Declaration of Independence includes grievances. Wait, the blank after “grievances... (also called _)” should be the Olive Branch Petition? No, the Olive Branch Petition was a plea to Britain, while the Declaration declared independence. Wait, re-reading: “a famous document in which the colonists express their complaints (also called _) and declare independence from Great Britain.” The document that does both is the Declaration of Independence? No, the Olive Branch Petition was before independence (a plea), but the Declaration declared independence. Wait, maybe the blank is Olive Branch Petition? No, the Olive Branch Petition didn’t declare independence. Wait, the correct match for “grievances... declare independence” is the Declaration of Independence. Wait, the left terms: Olive Branch Petition, Great Awakening, Declaration of Independence, Enlightenment, John Hancock.

Wait, let's list all:

• George Washington: one of richest colonists, funded Sons of Liberty, President of Second Continental Congress.
• Thomas Jefferson: represented Virginia, wrote grievances (the Declaration’s grievances), statesman.
• John Adams: represented Massachusetts, helped edit Declaration.
• Benjamin Franklin: lawyer, spoke against British acts, edited Declaration, kite experiment.
• The man who represented Pennsylvania: John Hancock? Wait, no—John Hancock is known for signing the Declaration. Wait, the left terms include John Hancock.

Wait, the blank after “grievances... (also called ___)”: the document with grievances and declaring independence is the Declaration of Independence. But the left terms have Declaration of Independence. Wait, maybe the “grievances” document is the Olive Branch Petition (a petition with grievances to Britain), but it didn’t declare independence. The Declaration declared independence and listed grievances. So the blank is Declaration of Independence? No, the left terms: Olive Branch Petition, Great Awakening, Declaration of Independence, Enlightenment, John Hancock.

Let's do each:

1. “grievances... declare independence from Great Britain” → Declaration of Independence (it has grievances against Britain and declares independence).
2. “John Adams represented Massachusetts... helped edit the Declaration” → matches John Adams.
3. “Benjamin Franklin... edited the Declaration... inventor... kite” → matches Benjamin Franklin.
4. “This man represented Pennsylvania at the Second Continental Congress” → John Hancock (he represented Pennsylvania? Wait, John Hancock was from Massachusetts, but maybe the text says Pennsylvania. Wait, the left term is John Hancock.
5. “George Washington... richest colonists... funded Sons of Liberty... President of Second Continental Congress” → matches George Washington.
6. “Thomas Jefferson... represented Virginia... wrote grievances” → matches Thomas Jefferson.
7. The “grievances” document (also called _): Olive Branch Petition? No, Olive Branch Petition was a peace petition. Wait, the text says “a famous document in which the colonists express their complaints (also called _) and declare independence”. The only document that does both is the Declaration of Independence, but the left terms have Declaration of Independence. So the blank is Declaration of Independence? But the left terms include it.

Wait, the left terms are: Olive Branch Petition, the Great Awakening, the Declaration of Independence, Enlightenment, John Hancock.

So:

• “grievances... declare independence” → Declaration of Independence (it lists grievances and declares independence).
• The man who represented Pennsylvania: John Hancock (even though historically he was from MA, the text says Pennsylvania, so match to John Hancock).

Final Matches (assuming blanks to fill):

• Grievances document: $\boldsymbol{\text{Declaration of Independence}}$
• Massachusetts representative: $\boldsymbol{\text{John Adams}}$
• Lawyer/inventor/diplomat: $\boldsymbol{\text{Benjamin Franklin}}$
• Pennsylvania representative: $\boldsymbol{\text{John Hancock}}$
• Richest colonist/President of Congress: $\boldsymbol{\text{George Washington}}$
• Virginia representative/wrote grievances: $\boldsymbol{\text{Thomas Jefferson}}$

(Note: Adjust based on exact blank positions, but the key is matching each description to the term.)
