The correct answer is the fourth.

This issue is linked to the struggle for the independence of the thirteen colonies.

The post-war context of the Seven Years was a blow to the finances of the English Crown. Thus, the English Crown aimed at the urgent application of mercantilist legislation in the English colonies.

In this scenario, England lowered countless decrees that considerably restricted the relative autonomy of both the colonies of the North and the colonies of the South, besides generating several taxations that caused uprisings. Among these decreases, are:

The Seal Act

The Law of Tea

The Sugar Law

 And the Intolerable Laws (1774), when the English Crown closed the Port of Boston and occupied militarily the colony of Massachussetts. This is the context of the Georgia Gazette's passage on July 14, 1774, quoted in the question, which suggests insurgency against English policies.

where are the options?

explanation:

simplify brackets

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

simplify 8 - 2a - 7 to -2a + 1

-2a + 1 = a + 40

add 2a to both sides

1 = a + 40 + 2a

simplify a + 40 + 2a to 3a + 40

1 = 3a + 40

subtract 40 from both sides

1 - 40 = 3a

simplify 1 - 40 o -39

-39 = 3a

divide both sides by 3

-39/3 = a

simplify 39/3 to 13

-13 = a

switch sides

a = -13
