Say you are writing an essay about the role of women in establishing England's first colonies in North America. Which statement would best
support your argument?
OA.
It's not clear whether one of the first women to live in Jamestown survived the "starving time."
OB. The conditions were so harsh in the first years of the colonies' existence that women often did not survive.
OC. Plymouth succeeded in part because it was settled by families that included men, women, and children.
OD Because the Plymouth settlers were religious dissenters, women played a key role in their government.
