To determine the correct answer for this question, we need to identify the event that convinced South Carolina to send representatives to the First Continental Congress.
The event in question must be one of the options provided, which includes:
1. Passage of the Currency Act
2. Passage of the Intolerable Acts
3. Passage of the Navigation Acts
4. Passage of the Stamp Act
To find the answer, we can eliminate options based on historical context. The First Continental Congress took place in 1774, while the Stamp Act was passed in 1765. Therefore, the Stamp Act could not have been the event that convinced South Carolina to send representatives to the Congress.
Similarly, the Currency Act was passed in 1764, the Navigation Acts were a series of laws dating back to the 17th century, and the Intolerable Acts were passed in response to the Boston Tea Party in 1774.
Considering the timing, it can be inferred that the passage of the Intolerable Acts is the event that convinced South Carolina to send representatives to the First Continental Congress. Therefore, the correct answer is "passage of the Intolerable Acts."
