You're welcome, Brady.
To check your answer, let's break down the question and analyze each option.
The question states that in 1784, British merchants forced American merchants to pay duties. Duties refer to taxes or fees imposed on imported or exported goods.
Now let's consider each option:
a. Trade goods imported from the British West Indies: This option suggests that the British forced American merchants to pay duties on goods imported from the British West Indies. While it is possible for duties to be imposed on goods imported from the British West Indies, there is no specific mention in the question that supports this option.
b. Trade goods imported through Canadian ports: This option suggests that the British forced American merchants to pay duties on goods imported through Canadian ports. Again, there is no specific mention in the question regarding Canadian ports, so we cannot conclusively say this is the correct answer.
c. British goods sold in America: This option suggests that the British forced American merchants to pay duties on British goods sold in America. This aligns with your notes, but you mentioned that it was incorrect.
d. American goods sold in Britain: This option suggests that the British forced American merchants to pay duties on American goods sold in Britain. There is no indication in the question that American goods were being sold in Britain, so this option is unlikely.
Based on this analysis and the information provided in the question, it seems that none of the given options are a perfect match. However, considering historical context and the policies in place during that time, the closest answer would likely be c. British goods sold in America.
It's important to note that without additional information about the specific historical context or any other clues in the question, we cannot definitively determine the correct answer.
