Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is E, as Parliament's response to American protests in 1766 was to repeal the Stamp Act, which was a major point of contention for the colonists. The other options are incorrect, as Parliament did not give Americans representation in the House of Commons, remove British troops from the colonies, blame George III for its mistaken policies, or issue an official apology at this time.
