Explanation:

Question 1

The French and Indian War (1754 - 1763) ended with the Treaty of Paris. In this treaty, France gave up most of its North American territories. The Louisiana Purchase was in 1803 (long after 1763), Native Americans did not force the French out in this context, and there was no mass - decision by the French to abandon colonies.

Indentured servants were under contract to work for a certain number of years (usually 4 - 7) in exchange for passage to America, food, and shelter. After their term, they were free. Both indentured servants and slaves could perform manual labor. Indentured servants could not hire slaves (as they were in a form of debt - bondage), and they did not earn wages (they were in a servitude arrangement).

The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which African slaves were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. The Long Passage and the Great Passage are not historical terms for this journey. The Northwest Passage is a sea route through the Arctic Ocean.

Answer:

A. They had given up most of their claims after losing the French and Indian War.
