To answer these questions:
1. For the first question, we need to understand the historical events and conflicts in Europe during the early 1700s and their impact on England's colonies in North America. We can research the major conflicts in Europe during that time period, such as the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) and the ongoing tensions between England, France, and Spain. By studying the effects of these conflicts on trade, diplomatic relations, and colonial policies, we can determine the correct answer.
2. For the second question, we can analyze the characteristics and economic activities of the Middle Colonies and the Southern Colonies. By researching historical records, primary sources, and scholarly articles, we can identify the commonalities in their economies. Comparing factors like resource availability, settlement patterns, and agricultural practices will help us find the correct answer.
3. For the third question, we need to understand the impact of the Glorious Revolution in England on the English colonies. We can study the events leading up to the revolution, the changes in government, and the subsequent policies enacted. Analyzing historical records, legal documents, and political writings will help us determine the effects of the Glorious Revolution on colonial governance, social structure, and rights.
4. For the fourth question, we must identify the root cause that led to both the Pequot War and King Philip's War. By researching the historical context, relations between the English settlers and Native American tribes, and the conflicts over land and resources, we can determine the underlying problem that led to these wars. Analyzing primary sources, historical accounts, and scholarly works on colonial history will help us find the correct answer.
