Answer:

The correct answer is A. William Penn founded Pennsylvania to provide a refuge for Quakers.

Explanation:

The province of Pennsylvania was one of thirteen English colonies in North America. It was founded by the English Quaker William Penn on March 4, 1681.

William Penn received the colony of King Charles II instead of paying a £16,000 debt owed by the Crown to his father, a naval hero, Admiral William Penn.  

The establishment of the colony solved the problem of the growth of the Religious Society of Friends or "Quaker" movement born in England, which caused some embarrassment to the Church of England established before. While still in England, Penn wrote the First Frame of Government, which described the government structure of the colony and promised certain rights to citizens.

Answer:

A) The rivers, mountains, and forests were alive with spirits.

C) The dragon was an all-powerful and kind god.

E) They practiced ancestor worship because they believed their ancestors took an interest in the affairs of the family.

F) They believed in an afterlife.

Explanation:

The statements that correctly describe the family and home customs of the early Chinese are the following:

A) The rivers, mountains, and forests were alive with spirits.

C) The dragon was an all-powerful and kind god.

E) They practiced ancestor worship because they believed their ancestors took an interest in the affairs of the family.

F) They believed in an afterlife.

This is because typically, according to historical records, even till modern-day occurrence, the Chinese were known to base their religion and cultural practices on traditional beliefs that cut across on natural things, phenomena, and observations.

Hence, option B is wrong, as the Chinese do not believe in one God like the Abrahamic religion.

Also, option D is wrong as they do not believe that "The dragon would protect the emperor whether or not the emperor ruled wisely."
