Answer 1

King George plan to answer the colonists' message to him by b) He intended to ignore their message and maintain British control.

Step-by-step explanation:

King George's plan to answer the colonists' message was to maintain British control and ignore their message. Shortly after the arrival of the petitions from the colonies, George III made his intentions clear by stating that 'blows must be exchanged to determine whether the American colonies are to be subject to this country or independent.'

Parliament also declared Massachusetts in rebellion and restricted trade with countries outside of the British Empire. While there was a Conciliatory Proposition presented by the Prime Minister, Lord North, it did not meet colonial expectations.

So therefore King George intended to maintain British control and ignore the colonists' message. The Conciliatory Proposition presented by the Prime Minister did not meet colonial expectations. The correct answer is b) He intended to ignore their message and maintain British control.
