Parliament passed the coercive acts, known in america as the intolerable acts, in response to a. the boston massacre. b. the boston tea party. c. insults addressed to the customs commissioners. d. patrick henry's resolves.

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".

hope this
