Which best describes the American colonists' reaction to British rule after the French and Indian War?

Following the French and Indian War, Britain wanted to

control expansion into the western territories. The King issued

the Proclamation of 1763 prohibiting settlements beyond the  Appalachian Mountains. Colonists who had already settled on

these lands were ordered to return east of the mountains.

In 1765 Parliament passed the Quartering Act that said the

colonists needed to find or pay for lodging for British soldiers

stationed in America. With the French and Indian War over,

many colonists saw no need for soldiers to be stationed in the

colonies.  

Britain also needed money to pay for its war debts. The

King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the

colonies. They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the

colonists to help pay for the French and Indian War. These taxes

included the Stamp Act, passed in 1765, which required the use

of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal

documents. Other laws, such as the Townsend Acts, passed in  

1767, required the colonists to pay taxes on imported goods like

tea.

Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes,

because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their

own colonial governments. They protested, saying that these

taxes violated their rights as British citizens.

The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying,

British goods. In 1773 some colonists in Boston, Massachusetts

demonstrated their frustration by dressing up like Indians,

sneaking onto ships in the harbor, and dumping imported tea into

the water. This was called the Boston Tea Party. The British

took action by closing the Boston port. A similar but smaller tea

party took place in Yorktown, Virginia in 1774/

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)
