Question

Check all the boxes that apply.

taking supplies from the colonists

forcing colonists to serve in the army

preventing colonists from moving west

neglecting the colonies

having soldiers stay in colonists’ homes

Answer 1

The British policies that increased colonists’ resentment during the war include:

• taking supplies from the colonists
• forcing colonists to serve in the army
• preventing colonists from moving west
• having soldiers stay in colonists’ homes

These actions contributed to feelings of anger and resentment among the colonists toward British rule. "Neglecting the colonies" typically refers to the period before the war when Britain allowed the colonies some degree of self-governance, so this option would not apply in the same context.
