The answer is:

The pilgrims drew lots and he drew the shortest straw.

In "The Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer, Harry Bailey, the host and guide of the pilgrimage and owner of the Tabard Inn at Southwark, comes up with the idea of telling tales to pass the time on the journey. For that reason, the pilgrims draw lots to determine that the knight will tell the first tale. Nevertheless, the narrator does not think this is by chance. Actually, the knight is the first character to be portrayed because of his high social rank.

Why did the New England states want to secede from the Union?
zaharov [31]
This question is a nightmare. The right answer isn't really there. A short answer would be that New England didn't want a second war with Great Britain. There was a real gaffuffle about pressing American seaman into British Navy vessels that cause Jefferson to impose an embargo. All of this centered about the war of 1812.

The choice is between A and B. I would pick A, but I can't eliminate B.

C and D are not really amongst the reasons, particularly C.

Spanish settlements in florida were at the heart of this reason for settlement
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Spanish Florida (Spanish: La Florida) was the first major European land claim and attempted settlement in North America during the European Age of Discovery. La Florida formed part of the Captaincy General of Cuba, the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and the Spanish Empire during Spanish colonization of the Americas. While its boundaries were never clearly or formally defined, the territory was much larger than the present-day state of Florida, extending over much of what is now the southeastern United States, including all of present-day Florida plus portions of Georgia,[1] Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina (see Fort San Juan), South Carolina,[2] and southeastern Louisiana. Spain's claim to this vast area was based on several wide-ranging expeditions mounted during the 16th century. A number of missions, settlements, and small forts existed in the 16th and to a lesser extent in the 17th century; eventually they were abandoned due to pressure from the expanding English and French colonial projects, the collapse of the native populations, and the general difficulty in becoming agriculturally or economically self-sufficient (which also affected some early English colonies). By the 18th century, Spain's control over La Florida did not extend much beyond its forts, all located in present-day Florida: near St. Augustine, St. Marks, and Pensacola.
