Both Maryland and other settlements were founded to be a religious refuge.
Explanation: Maryland along with other British colonies in North America, presented themselves as a religious refuge. This is because many English people suffered serious religious persecution while in England. The Anglican church did not allow religious freedom, and people of other faiths felt oppressed and discriminated, so they asked for permission to found hills in North America where religious freedom would be allowed. That way the English could practice their religion freely.
The sentence that uses ellipses correctly is the following one: Arnold says that the " . . .Sea of Faith . . . Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled." Ellipses are used to mark where some words in a quotation have been omitted. Ellipses should not be used at the very end of a quotation.
