Which of the following does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts?
A. Boston´s port was closed.
B. There was a tax on molasses.
C. There were limited town meetings.
D. Colonists had to quarter British soldiers in their homes
B. There was a tax on molasses.
The correct answer is B. There was a tax on molasses. This is because the Intolerable Acts did not include a specific tax on molasses.
To identify which option does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts, we can analyze each choice one by one:
A. Boston's port was closed: This is indeed one of the measures imposed by the Intolerable Acts. This act, known as the Boston Port Act, closed the port of Boston in response to the Boston Tea Party incident.
B. There was a tax on molasses: This is not directly related to the Intolerable Acts. The tax on molasses was imposed through the Sugar Act of 1764, which was not part of the Intolerable Acts.
C. There were limited town meetings: This is also accurate. One of the Intolerable Acts, called the Massachusetts Government Act, placed restrictions on town meetings in Massachusetts.
D. Colonists had to quarter British soldiers in their homes: This is another measure imposed by the Intolerable Acts. The Quartering Act required colonists to provide housing and supplies to British soldiers.
Considering the above explanations, option B, "There was a tax on molasses," does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts.
