B. Loyalists believed American representatives in Parliament were corrupt.

C. Patriots had closer political and business ties to transatlantic trade with Great Britain.

D. Patriots were more likely than Loyalists to believe in the idea of consent of the governed.

Answer 1

C doesn't make sense
sometime you need to try process of elimination

Answer 2

You need to know the difference between loyalist and patriot.
Once you know this (probably after reading the first chapter of the book), then you can confirm your answer; ie, I'll tell you if you're right.

Answer 3

The Patriots were more likely to believe that they had to give consent, or agreement, for someone to have authority over them. The Loyalists continued to support the British government and were not as focused on the idea of consent. So it is D.
