There was a tax on molasses.
The answer is: There was a tax on molasses.
To determine which option does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts, let's examine each option one by one:
1. Boston's port was closed: This is indeed a part of the Intolerable Acts. After the Boston Tea Party, Britain enacted a law that closed the port of Boston until the colonists paid back the damages caused.
2. There was a tax on molasses: This is not directly related to the Intolerable Acts but is a reference to the Sugar Act of 1764, which imposed duties on various imports, including molasses. The Sugar Act preceded the Intolerable Acts.
3. There were limited town meetings: This is also a part of the Intolerable Acts. The Massachusetts Government Act of 1774 restricted town meetings and reduced the power of the colonial government.
4. Colonists had to quarter British soldiers in their homes: This is another part of the Intolerable Acts. The Quartering Act of 1774 required colonists to provide housing and supplies to British soldiers stationed in America.
Therefore, the option that does not describe part of the Intolerable Acts is "There was a tax on molasses." However, it is important to note that while not directly related to the Intolerable Acts, there were indeed taxes on molasses imposed by the Sugar Act.
