What were some of the effects of the French and Indian war and how do they contribute to the growing tension between the colonies and Great Britain?​

question as stated in comment

why did the chinese require the portuguese to pay for goods in gold and silver when trading?

choices

portuguese goods were less valuable than chinese goods.

the chinese already had a surplus of portuguese goods.

the imperial government wanted to stockpile gold and silver.

portuguese and chinese currencies were not exchangeable.

this a history q n in ancient time, theres no money exchange. so ans is portuguese and chinese currencies were not exchangeable.

would be the one having to do with paine talking about how the colonies are so "close" to independence anyway, since he viewed that only rational next step at this point being revolution.
