Read the passage and answer the question. [1620] . . . so as there died sometimes two or three of a day, in the foresaid time; t

hat of one hundred and odd persons, scarce fifty remained. And of these in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them; in a word, did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren. In the above passage, which word best describes how Bradford feels about the caretakers of the ill?

Most of the above passage includes descriptions of the tasks that the caretakers did for the sick, but if you look where Bradford first mentions those caretakers, you can see just how he feels about them. This phrase, "there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health" holds the key. If you look closely at this phrase, Bradford describes how many people acted as caretakers (six or seven) and includes a single word, "commendations," that means praise. To suggests they deserve "great commendations" tells the reader that Bradford feels like these caretakers deserve the highest praise for what they do. My answer, then, would be the word "commendations."

Answer:

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three sentences in the passage are:

-And of these in the times of mort distress, there were but six or seven sound persons who, to their great commendations be it spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with the abundance of toil..."

-"Yet the Lord so upheld these persons, as in this general calamity they were not all infected either with sickness or lameness."

-"And I doubt not but their recompense is with the Lord.

That's what the beliefs were at the Plymouth Colony, in Massachusets. This colony followed strict religious rules. They had been persecuted in Greta Britain by the Church of England, and that is why they decided to leave Britain to avoid religious persecution and establish in North America to found a new place where they could practice their religious teaching.
