Answer 1

B.

Answer 2

The correct answer is options b) It was a letter to King George III containing a redress of grievances and e) It ackowledged the British Crown and Parliament's authority over the colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

All other statements about the Declaration of Independence (adopted by the Second Continental Congress) are true except option "b" because the letter to King George III containing a redress of grievances was actually called Petition to the King and it was sent by the First Continental Congress, not the second, after the British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts (in responde to the Boston Tea Party protest).

Option "e" is also an expection because they did not acknowledge the British authority over the colonies, they asserted that they were free and independent from them.
