Explanation

A main idea of Of Plymouth Plantation is that the Pilgrims faced severe hardships as they settled in an unfamiliar, dangerous place, and their religious faith helped sustain them. The damaged ship and difficult voyage are events in the account, but they are details rather than its broader central idea. Choice B best captures that larger idea.
