Answer 1

The correct sequence of events is Navigation Acts, Molasses Act, Currency Acts, and Salutary neglect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sequence of events in chronological order is:

1. Navigation Acts
2. Molasses Act
3. Currency Acts
4. Salutary neglect

The Navigation Acts were passed to regulate trade between England and the American colonies. The Molasses Act of 1733 imposed duties on raw sugar, rum, and molasses imported from competing countries. The Currency Acts required colonists to pay British merchants in gold and silver instead of colonial paper money. Salutary neglect was a period of relaxed British control over the colonies during the eighteenth century.
