GIVING BRAINLIEST TO FIRST GOOD ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION GIVE ME LIBERTY The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia THOMAS J. W

ERTENBAKER CHAPTER I THE CORNERSTONE OF LIBERTY Three little vessels-the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery-left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land. But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe? What is the main point of the descriptive details at the beginning of the second paragraph? (5 points) Select one: a. To place the reader in the moment of the first landing b. To describe what the colonists were up against c. To create a sense of fear and anxiety d. To end the journey on a hopeful note

Answer:

Answer C:

While the colony commanders were generally optimistic, as their task was to send the settler groups and hope for the best, the settlers had many other issues.

Despite the beauty and abundance of this new land, its wild and unknown aspects (hostile natives, new diseases, wild beasts) inspired both hope and fear to the settlers.

And the excerpt, from the begging, explores these feelings making the questions that the settlers might have asked themselves when entering Virginia.

Answer: Some potential traits of an offspring of two heterozygous parents with traits for brown hair, B, and blonde hair, b, include brown and blond. Since both parents are heterozygous, the genetic traits would be Bb and Bb. Also since the B (brown) is the dominant trait, the likelihood of a brown-haired offspring is three-fourths more likely than a blonde offspring. All the genetic possibilities are BB (brown), Bb (brown because of the dominant trait), Bb (brown), and bb (blonde).

Here are the answers: r<span>esponse to distress, adaptation to an environment, and inherited survival characteristics.
Basically, natural selection was proposed by Charles Darwin, the Father of Evolution. Natural selection is the process on how an organism adapts to its environment in order to survive and reproduce. Organisms tend to evolve in order to response to certain stimulus and stressors in their environment in order to better adapt and as they evolve, the traits they possess becomes inherited by their offsprings.</span>
