The statement that does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts is:
There was a tax on molasses.
The tax on molasses was part of the Sugar Act (1764), not the Intolerable Acts. The other statements are indeed related to the Intolerable Acts, which were punitive measures imposed by the British government in response to the Boston Tea Party.
