The correct answer to the question: Which entity was given power by the Articles of Confederation, would be: A unicameral legislature.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, whose signing began in 1777, but which were not ratified until 1781, because there was a lot of debate upon their suitability for the leading of the newly formed Union, stated very clearly in most of its Articles, that the new nation was to have a federal government and a unicameral legislature, named Congress, but that were highly dependent on the power of the States that were signing the document, namely: Rhode Island and Providence Plantation, Massachusetts Bay, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia North Carolina and Virginia. Throughout the document, it is possible to read that the representatives wanted it to be clear that they would have a Congress, but they speak of it as a unicameral legislature, with some powers, and being probably the highest of the branches, since it was a representation of the power of the States and the people of the Union. In 1787 these Articles were reconsidered in the Second Continental Congress and the Constitution of United States that we know today, was born.
