Answer 1

The Quebec Act was not part of the Coercive Acts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, were a series of acts passed by the British Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party in 1774. These acts were aimed at punishing the colony of Massachusetts and asserting British control over the American colonies. The acts included the Boston Port Act, which closed the harbor until the destroyed tea was paid for; the Massachusetts Government Act, which placed the colony's government under British control; and the Administration of Justice Act, which allowed trials of crown officers to be moved out of Massachusetts.

However, the Quebec Act was not part of the Coercive Acts. The Quebec Act was separate legislation passed by Parliament in the same year. It confirmed Roman Catholicism as the official religion in Quebec and extended the boundaries of Quebec to include lands claimed by other colonies.
