Answer 6

One of the most important causes of the American
Revolution was what came to be called salutary
neglect. The word salutary means “beneficial or
helpful.” During the early 1700s, the British
government started to allow the American colonies
to ignore its trade rules. This was because it had
found that allowing the colonies to trade illegally
with enemy countries made the colonies wealthier.
Having more money, the colonies therefore bought
more British goods. The way British leaders
neglected to enforce the rules was salutary, or
beneficial.
The policy of salutary neglect ended up backfiring
on the British later in the 1700s, however. The
French and Indian War left the British government
deeply in debt, and it tried to raise money to pay off
the debt by creating new taxes for the colonies. In
contrast, the colonies were used to salutary
neglect, and did not take the taxes seriously. When
the British tried to enforce tax payments, it led to
hostile relations that contributed to the decision of
colonists to start a revolution.
A)
Use the passage to answer the question.
How does the transition word therefore in the
first paragraph highlight a connection that
helps explain why colonies were able to buy
more goods?
(1 point)
The transition word therefore signals a
connection that helps explain why

The transition word therefore signals a
connection that helps explain why
colonies were able to buy more British
goods.
The transition word therefore signals a
distinction between the colonies’ money
and Britain’s goods.
The transition word therefore signals a
distinction between the goods the
colonies bought from foreign countries
and the goods the colonies bought from
the British.

Answer 7

The correct answer is: The transition word therefore signals a connection that helps explain why colonies were able to buy more British goods.

The use of "therefore" indicates that the increased wealth of the colonies (due to trading illegally) directly led to their ability to purchase more goods from Britain, highlighting the cause-and-effect relationship.
