Question 10 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

What is the central idea of paragraph six of Of Plymouth Plantation?

Answer
A
The Pilgrims and Indigenous peoples around Cape Cod were unfriendly toward each other.
B
The ship's captain could not give the Pilgrims all the supplies they wanted because he needed some for the return journey to Europe.
C
The Pilgrims believed that the captain might put them ashore and sail back to Europe if the Pilgrims could not find a safe harbor for the ship.
D
The land was cold, desolate, and dangerous, and the Pilgrims could not rely on the ship or their friends in Europe for survival.

Explanation

Paragraph six emphasizes the hardships the Pilgrims faced after arriving: the winter was severe, the land was unfamiliar and harsh, and they could not depend on the ship or help from Europe. These details support the central idea that their survival would be difficult and uncertain. Choice D best captures that combined danger and lack of support.
