Question

question 1 - 16
europeans forced enslaved laborers to the americas because they -
○ wanted to hire more indentured servants from africa
○ desired cheap labor to grow cash crops on plantations
○ hoped to profit from selling humans to the ottoman empire
○ needed guides to help explore the cape of good hope

Explanation:

Indentured servants were not the main reason (eliminating first option). The Ottoman Empire is not relevant to the Americas in this context (eliminating third option). The Cape of Good Hope is in Africa and not related to the Americas for this labor - related question (eliminating fourth option). Europeans needed cheap labor for cash - crop plantations (like sugar, tobacco) in the Americas.

Answer:

desired cheap labor to grow cash crops on plantations
