The correct answer is C. They place great importance on property ownership
Explanation:
The purpose of the captain and the company was to buy or own the island; this idea is expressed in "its mission to purchase from the natives a base from which to conduct company trade." This shows the captain and its people believed owning the island was important, as well as, using the resources and location of this for trade.
According to this, it can be concluded the captain and the company place great importance on property ownership. Moreover, this belief contrasts the ones of the natives in the excerpt because they accept that the company and the captain establish on the island but do not understand the company is now the owner of the island.
Answer:
4. Should be studying
Explanation:
The predicate is the part of a sentence (or clause) that contains a verb, stating what the subject is doing, or describes the subject.
When we have a main verb and an auxiliary verb accompanying it, both of them together form the predicate. In the given sentence, we have a construction with a main verb<em> to study </em>and an auxiliary verb <em>should:</em> <em>should be studying</em>. If you chose just<em> studying</em> or <em>should be</em> as the predicate, that would be incorrect as those two options are not the complete predicate.
