Although you did not include options, we can say the following.
James hears two sides of the continental congress arguing about intolerable acts. One side wants them to be imposed while the other wants to ask the king for forgiveness.
We are talking about the Intolerable Acts, approved by the English Parliament in 1774, after the incident known as the Boston Tea Party, when colonists from Boston dropped boxes of tea into the sea.

As a result of that incident, King James wanted to punish the colonists with these Coercive Acts.
