Question

if a group of people pillaged a town, what did they do to the town?
○ they took valuable items from the town.
○ they decided to settle in the town.
○ they destroyed the town by setting fires.
○ they took over leadership of the town.

Explanation:

The word "pillaged" means to rob a place using violence, especially in times of war, and typically involves taking valuable items. So if a group pillaged a town, they took valuable items from it. The other options don't match the definition: settling in the town is not pillaging, destroying by fire is more like "burning" or "ravaging" (not the core of pillaging), and taking over leadership is "conquering" or "governing", not pillaging.

Answer:

A. They took valuable items from the town.
