Answer 1

Answer choices are :

Cartier returned to Quebec with more settlers the following year.

The French sold their land claims in North America to the English.

The French did not send explorers to the New World for many years.

Cartier explored the North American coast and found a Northwest Passage

Correct answer choice is :

C) The French did not send explorers to the New World for many years.

Explanation:

French explorer Jacques Cartier was born on December 31, 1491, in Saint-Malo, Brittany, France, and was sent by King Francis I to the New World in quest of riches and a new way to Asia in 1534. His research of the St. Lawrence River enabled France to lay right to lands that would become Canada. Cartier needed to find a Northwest Passage to India and the Spice Islands, though his motivation was distinctive.

Answer 2

I believe it was bringing more French settlers to Quebec to establish settlements and have enough resourceful people who could transform the bush into farmland and develop a local economy that could sustain itself.
