Statement I :The  passing  of  the  Coercive Acts  made reconciliation   between   Britain   and   her American colonies virtually impossible.

          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I         
         
Explanation: The Coercive Acts included a series of   laws   passed   by   the   British Parliament    in    1774,    including Boston Port Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, the Administration  of  Justice  Act,  and the  Quartering  Act  of  1774,  which were  meant  to  punish  American colonies  for  throwing  a  large  tea shipment  into  Boston Harbour,  so,the  passing  of  the  Coercive  Acts made reconciliation between Britain  and  her  American  colonies virtually impossible. The Stamp Act of  1765  was  passed  by  Parliament of  Great  Britain to  impose  a  direct tax   on   the   colonies   of   British America.  It  was  later  repealed  on March 18, 1766 after protest.
