d). american - American

g). arrive - arrived

h). sent - send

Explanation:

• The first sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error where the singular subject 'colonist' is paired with a plural noun.
• The next two sentences contain prepositional error where 'regarding' and 'for' will be replaced with 'against' and 'of' to show the 'contradiction to'(imported British Tea) and origin('people of China, India, and other countries').
• The Fourth sentence displays a punctuation error where the country's name is not capitalized.
• The next sentence contains a word-choice error and thus, 'where' will be substituted with the auxiliary 'were.'
• Since the sentence is in passive, 'were being' will be followed by the third form of the verb i.e. 'taxed.'
• Similarly, 'arrive' will be changed to 'arrived' as the tense will continue to remain past.
• The last sentence employs an infinitive and it always carries the base form of the verb with 'to' and hence, the past form 'sent' will be changed to 'send.'
