Answer 1

This act substantially lowered the price of tea sold in the colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer should be This act substantially lowered the price of tea sold in the colonies. Sure the act would drop prices, but it would also give Britain the monopoly over the trade so if the colonies wanted to trade with others they wouldn't be able to. Also, all the money would go to Britain so they didn't have much from it.
