Answer 1

The Puritan leader John Winthrop states, "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." because the Puritans lived on a hill very high off of the ground, so everyone could see them.

Explanation:                       

The Puritans decided to separate as they saw Catholic practices and beliefs in the Church of England.

• They were members of a religious group known for its firm beliefs.
• The New England Colonies establish by the Puritans, who practice religion with strict beliefs without restrictions. The settlers were majority puritans in Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies.
• John Winthrop states, "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." to keep Puritans moving in the righteous path. According to him, if the Puritans failed to uphold themselves, then their mistake will be revealed to the world to see.

Therefore we can conclude that Puritans have to maintain their religious practices without making any mistakes or conducting sins.

Thus option C. "The Puritans lived on a hill very high off of the ground, so everyone could see them" is the correct answer.
