Answer:

B) Servants

Explanation:

The idea of indentured servitude was born of a need for cheap labor. The earliest settlers soon realized that they had lots of land to care for, but no one to care for it. With passage to the Colonies expensive for all but the wealthy, the Virginia Company ... depressed, and many skilled and unskilled laborers were without work.

Answer:

D) indentured servitude

Explanation:

This question can be answered by ruling out the other answers:

It cannot be A, as slavery is forced, unpaid labour with the labourer considered the property of another, and in the question, it is implied that the poor people are making a choice to participate in this scheme and that they are not considered the possessions of the wealthy.

It cannot be B, as servants must be paid, and the labourers would not be, initially.

It cannot be C, as there is no mention of where the people would be working in the question.

This leaves only D (indentured servitude), which makes sense, as an indentured servant is one who works under a contract for another to pay off a debt, generally in the context described in the question.

miss Akunina [59]

The correct answer is D) Emperors communicated using runners from the capital city of Cuzco.

This was a characteristic of the Inca civilization: "Emperors communicated using runners from the capital city of Cuzco."

The Inca were one of the most important civilizations in South America in Prehispanic times. They settled in the mountains called "Anders" in Peru and built the impressive city of Macchu Pichu. People lived in modest houses made of stone and as they lived in the mountains, they worked as farmers to make a living building "terraces," portions of flat land where they could grow crops.
