Royce Brandt · Answer 1

The correct option for above statement is:

The colonies developed a separate American identity.

Explanation:

Salutary failure is the unofficial British policy of allowing or lax implementation of parliamentary laws honoring the American colonies during the 1600s and 1700s. This policy was developed to keep colonial loyalty while allowing Britain to focus its concentration on European plans.

Dahlia Browning · Answer 2

Salutary neglect was Britain's unofficial policy to relax the enforcement of the strict regulations. With this, the colonies were able to operate independently, both politically and economically. They also were able to forge an American identity. For this item, the answer would be letter C.
