Explanation:

1. For the question about the Coercive Acts: The Coercive Acts were repressive measures by Britain against Massachusetts. Other colonies sympathized with Massachusetts, seeing it as a martyr in the cause of resistance against British tyranny. Colonial boycotts actually increased, Massachusetts was not politically isolated, the acts had a significant impact on Massachusetts, and other colonial legislatures did not ignore them.
2. For the question about taverns: Taverns became central meeting - places where colonists could discuss ideas about resistance against British rule, fueling revolutionary sentiment. They were not the only places to speak legally, resentment of duties on alcohol was not the main reason for their importance in the growth of revolutionary sentiment, and while men and women did gather there, that was not the key factor in their role in revolutionary growth.
3. For the question about "country Whigs": In the 1760s, "country Whigs" were English colonists who considered the British government to be corrupt and oppressive, opposing its policies in the colonies. They did not fear political protests would damage long - term profits, did not defend the British imperial system, did not think Locke's philosophy gave too much power to the king, and did not call on George III to assert more authority.

Answer:

1. Massachusetts became a martyr in the cause of resistance.
2. they become central meeting places to discuss ideas about resistance.
3. considered the British government to be corrupt and oppressive.
