question 2 of 5
which statement best completes the diagram?
great britain passes new taxes on tea and sugar. colonists are forced to house british soldiers. thomas jefferson writes the declaration of independence.
a. american indians declare war on france and great britain.
b. the second continental congress passes the intolerable acts.
c. colonists refuse to participate in the boston tea party.
d. great britain places limits on where colonists can live.

Explanation:

The diagram shows grievances of the American colonists leading to the writing of the Declaration of Independence. Great - Britain imposing new taxes, forcing colonists to house soldiers, and placing limits on where colonists can live were all factors fueling colonial discontent. Option A is unrelated as American Indians' war with France and Britain is not a direct cause of the Declaration. The Intolerable Acts were passed by the British Parliament, not the Second Continental Congress (so B is incorrect). The colonists participated in the Boston Tea Party as a protest, not refused (so C is incorrect).

Answer:

D. Great Britain places limits on where colonists can live
