c) to the colonies to explain
d) to the king and Parliament why the colonists were fighting the English in Boston

The correct answer is A. The purpose of the Olive Branch Petition was to restore trade between England and the colonies.

Explanation:

The Olive Branch Petition of July 5, 1775 was a final appeal by the Second Continental Congress of the Thirteen Colonies to King George III of Britain to change the economic and tax policies of the British motherland towards the colonies.

From the 1760s onwards, the British king had tried to draw more income from the colonies due to growing public debt. This led to economic hardship and resentment among the colonists. They believed that only their colonial parliaments, but not the British Parliament, could tax them ("No taxation without representation"). Since the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, disagreements have escalated into open violent conflict; at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 there had already been skirmishes between militias of the rebels and the British colonial army.

The petition emphasized that the signatories' intention was to "avoid further bloodshed" and "avert impending misfortune threatening the British Empire". There was continued loyalty to the king, to whom a ceasefire was proposed until the colonial problems with the "mother country" were resolved.

look ongoog you might find it

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
