Answer 1

The statement that best describes how the Intolerable Acts affected the American colonies is:

• The acts caused the colonies to unite against the British government.

The Intolerable Acts, enacted in 1774, were a series of punitive measures taken by the British government in response to the Boston Tea Party and other acts of colonial defiance. These acts galvanized colonial opposition to British rule and led to increased unity among the colonies in their resistance efforts, ultimately contributing to the formation of the First Continental Congress.
