Answer:
Half of the company died, and the few strong people took care of the weak.
Explanation:
What best summarizes starving time is that "Half of the company died, and the few strong people took care of the weak."
This was based on the event that occurred in Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia during the winter period of 1609–1610.
The event saw the English settlers at the time experience food shortages, fractured leadership, and a siege by Powhatan Indian warriors which killed seventy-five percent of colonists at James Fort.
At the beginning of the winter, the historical records have it that about 500 residents were alive, and by the end of the winter, only 61 people survived to Spring.
