It is difficult to know whether the account of Smith’s rescue, now of legendary proportions, did indeed occur. Whether the story is true or not, however, there are several reasons that would encourage the story to be widely promoted:
1. It puts Pocahontas in a good light, as being the rescuer of an Englishman. Because of the close relationship between Smith and Pocahontas, and due to her huge popularity in England, this would be a plausible assumption. Additionally, it highlights the closeness between Smith and Pocahontas.
2. It could serve a dramatic objective; a way to make his story more interesting by showing how his life was in danger and how lucky his escape was.
3. It is a story that highlights the “savagery” of the Indigenous population. This was a common assumption at the time and it was used to justify colonization.
I would explain, but since you had the mind to post numerous questions, I only have time to give you the answers. Sorry about that.

Answer: passion
Explanation:
According to Robert Sternberg's triangular theory of love, <em>passion</em> refers to the drives that lead to romance, physical attraction, and sexual consummation and is accompanied by physiological changes and arousal. In Sternberg's Theory of Love, love is formed by: intimacy, passion and commitment. Passion is connected with both romance and sexual attraction, Intimacy has to do with shared feelings and thougts, and commitment is the desire of sharing a life together. Couples can be identified by the high or low levels of these elements.
