Explanation:

Question 1

The Northern Colonies had rocky soil, which made agriculture less feasible, so they relied on fishing, trade, and other industries. The Southern Colonies had fertile soil for cash crops, the Middle Colonies had a mix, and Caribbean Colonies focused on sugar. So the correct answer is the Northern Colonies.

Slavery was divisive from the start as different colonies (e.g., Northern vs Southern) had differing stances on its use and morality. So the statement is True.

The excerpt claims kings act on God’s behalf and are called Gods, which is the Divine Right of Kings (the idea kings’ authority comes from God). Other options: Church power focuses on the church, need for kings is not the focus, and monarchy power is broader than this divine - based claim.

Answer:

a. The Northern Colonies
