The correct answers are the following.

Question 1.- The correct answer is F) Firewood.

Peter Zenger helped us to pave the way for freedom of the Press.

The Townshend Acts was legislation passed in 1767 by the English Parliament, to be enforced in the American colonies. The legislation taxed imports on pain. glass, lead, tea, and pape. An English crown office in Boston collected the taxes. The Acts allowed English officials to inspect offices and homes of the colonists.

Peter Zenger was a journalist (1697-1746) was a journalist that in November 1755 published his opinions about the governor of New York William Cosby, in the publication called New York Weekly Journal. He was accused of libel, sent to jail, appealed, and won the case.
