To match the grievances with the Intolerable Acts accurately, let's review each grievance and its corresponding act:

  1. Grievance 1: For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of Trial by Jury

    • This grievance relates to the Administration of Justice Act, which allowed British officials to be tried in Britain for crimes committed in the colonies, effectively depriving colonists of a jury trial.
  2. Grievance 2: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world

    • This grievance is associated with the Boston Port Act, which closed the port of Boston until the tea destroyed in the Boston Tea Party was paid for, severely impacting trade.
  3. Grievance 3: For [housing] large bodies of armed troops among us

    • This grievance is directly related to the Quartering Act, which required colonists to provide housing and supplies to British troops.
  4. Grievance 4: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments

    • This grievance corresponds to the Massachusetts Government Act, which altered the governance in Massachusetts and stripped away local self-governance.

Based on this analysis, the correct match is:

A.
Grievance 1 - Administration of Justice Act
Grievance 2 - Massachusetts Government Act
Grievance 3 - Quartering Act
Grievance 4 - Boston Port Act

However, since none of the provided answer choices link Grievance 2 correctly to the Massachusetts Government Act, it appears there might be a typographical or logical mismatch in the framing of the options. Considering the associations are already established, the closest match is option A despite the error.
