after the announcement of independence, a crowd in new york city tore down a statue of the british king, george iii.

Explanation:

For the first reaction: "Many towns in the United States held celebrations after hearing about the Declaration of Independence."

Holding celebrations after hearing about the Declaration shows approval and positive sentiment toward it, so it's a sign of supporting.

Claiming the arguments in the Declaration are lies is a negative assessment, indicating disagreement and opposition to the Declaration.

Tearing down the statue of the British king shows rejection of British rule and support for the Declaration of Independence (which declared independence from Britain).

Answer:

Sign of supporting the Declaration

For the second reaction: "A former governor of Massachusetts wrote an essay that said the arguments in the Declaration were lies."
