Answer 1

The Boston Port Act is the Coercive Act that prevented businesses from shipping out or receiving any goods by boat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Coercive Act that prevented businesses from shipping out (exporting) or receiving (importing) any goods by boat was the Boston Port Act. This act was one of the measures enacted by Parliament in 1774 to punish Massachusetts for the Boston Tea Party. It shut down Boston Harbor until the East India Company was repaid for the tea that was destroyed.
