YourFace is WRONG!!!

For question 9, you are correct. The shared goal that started this sequence of events was the desire for gold and silver. This can be inferred from the fact that Jacques Cartier, Samuel de Champlain, Henry Hudson, and Peter Minuet were all exploring and establishing settlements in North America with the hope of finding valuable resources.

For question 10, your answer is incorrect. The circumstance that led to the expansion of these colonies was competition in the fur trade. This can be deduced from the fact that the colonies of New France and New Netherlands were both located in regions that had rich fur resources, and the fur trade played a significant role in their economic development. The alliances with the British, profits from cash crop farming, and discovery of rich mineral deposits may have influenced the development of other colonies, but they were not the primary circumstances that led to the expansion of these specific colonies.
