The correct answer is C. They place great importance on property ownership
Explanation:
The purpose of the captain and the company was to buy or own the island; this idea is expressed in "its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade." This shows the captain and its people believed owning the island was important, as well as, using the resources and location of this for trade.
According to this, it can be concluded the captain and the company place great importance on property ownership. Moreover, this belief contrasts the ones of the natives in the excerpt because they accept that the company and the captain establish on the island but do not understand the company is now the owner of the island.
Dear Mayor Levine,
We send our children to school so that they can learn the
skills that they need to prepare them for the challenges of life. In order to make this possible, we want them
to learn in an environment that is safe and secure. We truly believe that this
encourages them to learn and take part in school activities.
Lately, however, we are now troubled by reports that there
many unruly students who cause trouble for the school and other students as
well. What is more alarming is that many
of them are carrying concealed weapons and we are afraid that our children’s
lives will be at risk.
We urgently request
that your office to do something about this problem. We are worried about the
safety and welfare of our children is now at risk because of these recent
developments. We will be happy to work
with you in creating a safe in environment for our children to learn in school.
Thank you and God Bless!
Very Truly Yours,
John Doe
