The correct answer is option letter C (a problem to resolve). By definition, to have an axe to grind is <u><em>to have a complaint or dispute that one feels compelled to discuss</em></u>. For instance, “<em>I think the boss </em><u><em>has a bit of an axe to grind</em></u><em> with the employees over the way the account was handled</em>”. Here the phrase means that the boss has a problem to work out with the employees. It is difficult to trace the origin of the phrase, but it is commonly attributed to <em>Benjamin Franklin</em>; however, other opinions point to another author who also lived in Pennsylvania, USA.

When and where did the native Americans first teach the European settlers to grow corn
Hitman42 [59]

Native Americans had grown corn for more than 2000 years. They ate it and used it to brew beer way before the Europeans landed on America on the late 15th century, led by Christopher Columbus.  

When the settlers arrived to the West Indies, they were offered corn by the Native American Indians. They learned how to grow it, took seeds back with them and introduced it in Europe.
