Answer 1

B. Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, First Continental Congress

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5th, 1770. It was triggered by a street brawl between American Colonists and British soldiers on King Street in Boston. The brawl occurred due to the resistance to British occupation and taxation by the British Parliament.
2. The Boston Tea Party occurred on December 16th, 1773. American colonists were further angered by the high taxes imposed by the British Parliament. They threw sachets of tea from the British East India Company into the Boston harbor as a form of protest.
3. The First Continental Congress was created in the Autumn of 1774. After years of protesting, delegates from each American colony met to discuss America's future under British occupation.
