In "Home Place Retold," we find out about the Mennonites, a Christian separatist group that came from Europe in the early days of the development of America. Among these families, it was common for siblings from one family to marry siblings from a neighbouring family. The reason was that, often, communities were very small, both due to their initial reduced numbers and their high mortality rate. This meant that there was very little choice of partner because of the small population. As the number of people grew, these practices became less common.

In my opinion, the correct answer is D. <span>Combine sentences to lengthen them. Most of these sentences are short and have a simple structure. Some of them could be put together, for example: Succeeding him as king was his 15-year old son, Edward III; however, he was king in name only, whereas the real rulers were the queen and her sweetheart Roger Mortimer, both of whom were instrumental in the ousting of Edward II.</span>
