To explain how to reach the answer, let's break down the options provided:
A. They ran out of good: This option does not provide a logical reason for why they would stop their journey. Lack of goods alone would not be a sufficient reason to halt their expedition.
B. They finished their planned journey: This option suggests that they completed the journey they had initially planned. This could be a possible reason for why they did not travel further down the river. It is important to consider the objective of their expedition and whether they accomplished it.
C. Many of their crew members died of diseases: This option implies that the expedition faced loss of crew members due to diseases. While this could be a challenge they encountered, it is not directly related to why they did not continue down the river, unless it affected their ability to proceed.
D. They were told there were armed Indians downriver: This option suggests that they received information about the presence of armed Indians further down the river. Based on this information, they could have decided to halt their journey to avoid potential conflict or danger.
Considering the options, B. They finished their planned journey seems to be the most reasonable answer. The question does not provide any specific information to indicate other reasons like running out of supplies or crew members dying of diseases. Therefore, it can be inferred that Louis Joliet and Father Marquette stopped their journey at the mouth of the Arkansas river because they successfully completed their planned expedition.
