Explanation:

For question 10: The Tea Act granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies, which undercut smuggled Dutch tea (making smuggled tea more expensive by comparison as the Company could sell at lower, subsidized rates). Tea did not become unaffordable, and coffee did not replace tea as the primary drink in Boston.
For question 11: The Sons of Liberty carried out the Boston Tea Party, where they dumped approximately 90,000 pounds of British East India Company tea into Boston Harbor to protest the Tea Act.
