Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: The passages focus on colonial response to the Sugar Act and boycotts, not details leading abolitionists to support the American Revolution. Eliminate.
- Option 2: The first passage shows colonial outrage and assemblies protesting the Sugar Act. The second (implied by context) and the option's mention of boycotting and united people. The text has colonists reacting together (e.g., multiple assemblies protesting), and boycotting (implied in the context of colonial resistance) to show people united. This matches.
- Option 3: The passages don't focus on "intelligent people" but on colonial resistance. Eliminate.
- Option 4: The passages discuss colonial response to the Sugar Act, not the connection between sugar trade and slavery in North America. Eliminate.

# Answer: B. Both passages develop the idea that boycotting could bring attention to people who were treated unfairly, including enslaved people.
