Answer 1

"Women spun cloth at home to enable their families to forsake imported British cloth" is the way the women in American colonies significantly contributed to upholding the boycott on British goods during the American Revolution. The correct option among all the options that are given is the second option. 

Answer 2

The correct answer is Women spun cloth at home to enable their families to forsake imported British cloth.

American colonists were upset with the British government for implementing taxes on goods in the colonies without the colonists consent. There were numerous taxes passed on items such as glass, lead, and tea. To show their discontent with these laws, the colonists began to boycott British goods. This means that the colonists refused to buy British goods.

In order to keep up this boycott women began to develop more clothes at home so that their families did not need to buy them from British merchants. These individuals, sometimes associated with the Daughters of Liberty, helped to sustain the boycott of British goods (like cloth) for a significant amount of time.
