Answer:

- Refusing to purchase goods sold by the British empire

- Throwing away British's goods from their harbor

- Creating pamphlets to turn public's opinion

- Directly produce goods that compete with British's market

- Refusing to being hospitable toward British soldiers

- Sending representatives to directly talk to British parliaments

Step-by-step explanation:

- Refusing to purchase goods sold by the British empire

Example of this would be during the protest of the stamp acts. At that time, the colonists decided not to buy stamps to damage British's income

- Throwing away British's goods from their harbor

Example of this would be during the protests for British's tea act. Colonists decided to threw British's tea that's about to be to the sea.

- Creating pamphlets to turn public's opinion

Example of this would be The common sense which created by Thomas Paine

- Directly produce goods that compete with British's market

The colonists did this to damage British's economy by allocating parts of the British's empire income into their own pocket.

- Refusing to being hospitable toward British soldiers

At that time, many of the colonists treated the British soldiers in American with indirect hostility. They insulted them behind their back, ignore them when they're talking , etc.

- Violence

Example of this would be the stamp act riots in 1765.
