Answer 1

Answer:

It scouted the future site of Roanoke and made contact with the Algonquian peoples.

Explanation:

The expedition of 1584 carried out by Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe had two objectives and they include; scouting for a place of possible settlement in the Roanoke Islands and making contact with the Algonquian people. On coming back, the expeditors came back with two Algonquian representatives named Wanchese and Manteo.

Their arrival was important in that they helped to explain the culture and language of the Native Americans to the British people.  This would make it easier for the British government to colonize the North American settlement.
