Answer:

A) He thinks they should try and live in peace because he desires goods to trade.

Explanation:

Powhatan makes the argument that he will work well with the English, without the use of coercion or force of any kind. He and his people are willing to trade and live at peace. He does not threaten. His strong advice is for the settlers to put down their weapons as well as negative attitudes, and work along side Powhatan and his people.

The answer cannot be "B" because he does not ask them to leave, but to lay down their weapons and negative attitude.

The answer cannot be "C" because he does not express that they will attack first. In fact, the gist of the quote alludes to the fact that they have already attacked and either attempted to take or succeeded in taking things by force the could have had just by asking.

The answer cannot be "D" because he is asking them to live in peace. He provides an eloquent assessment of what has happened and what could have happened instead. He paints a picture of how things can be in the future, if they will just live as Powhatan advises.
