Answer:

food and drinks and supplies to survive

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Quartering Act, (1765, 1774) colonists were required to provide food, beer, wine, bedding, utensils , candles and firewood to the British soldiers and officers.his did not settle well with the colonists. They didn't like having to give up their food, belongings and homes to people who weren't always kind to them. The colonists protested and threatened the soldiers.

Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty lead the protest. They threw 342 chests of tea overboard.
