The answer is C.   The<em> basic education</em> provided by the colonists had as primary purpose to help the Protestant children to learn <em>how to read</em>, so they could <em>read the scriptures and all the teachings in the Bible</em>. But any further education was rare, and the girls only learned writing and arithmetic, besides reading. They boys usually received more education.

The colonists provided basic education for girls as well as boys because protestant denominations wanted everyone to be able to read the Bible. Option C is correct.

Education in the Thirteen Colonies during the 17th and 18th centuries varied considerably.

How much education a child received depended on a person's social and family status. When educating, families favored boys.

Education was valued for the sake of religious study in order for thchildren to have a great command of Bible reading.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B). Fear of the abuses experienced under British rule.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first written document regarded as the constitution of the United States of America as it was agreed upon by the thirteen (13) original states. Thus, the Articles of Confederation highlighted and established the functions of the government of the United States of America.

Hence, to the States, one of the greatest advantage of the Articles of Confederation was the sovereignty of the government of America. It made it a central government with the ability to raise an army.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the lack of a strong national government to deal with national problems can best be explained by the fear of the abuses experienced under British rule i.e the conflict which ensued between King Charles I and the parliamentarians as a result of power and authority.
