The statement is - false.
Brazil became a Portuguese and not a Spanish colony because the Portugal king that sponsored Columbus was the first to be aware of the discovery. So the Portuguese king called upon the Portuguese-Spanish Treaty by which everything south of the Azores belongs to Portugal. The Pope got involved in it all so that everything is fair and passes by without any conflict, so the Portuguese got everything on the eastern part, while the Spanish got everything on the western part, thus Brazil fell into the arms of Portugal and not Spain.
Hm - well without seeing your text, I can only go on what I know about Quakers. I believe A to be the best choice because Quakers welcomed other faiths and races. And they were not fighters, so their colonies were free of some of the conflict that the other colonies had. They befriended the natives.
Quakers were very humble so B & D do not fit.
C. is the only other one causing me to think because they did have slaves, but when I look that up I don't see anywhere that states it resulted in a large number of Africans in the area.
So I believe A is the best choice.
