How does Hurston’s use of conversations to describe events, instead of showing them, contribute to the meaning of the story?

1# the answer is c

2#the answer is a

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.

quarted means to be housed or "lodged" in someone home

hope this
