Question

PLEASE HELP

Charles Townshend proposed the Townshend Acts to British Parliament in 1767. These new acts placed a tax on various imported goods like paper, paint, lead, glass, and tea. In Townshend's opinion, the colonists would not protest to these "external" taxes since they were levied (paid for) only when the good was imported. The colonists did protest, however, and began another boycott of British goods.


Except for one item, all the taxes placed by the Townshend Acts were repealed in 1770. Which item remained taxed after the acts were repealed?

A.

tea

B.

paint

C.

lead

D.

paper
