American Indians in Georgia

Question 7 • CCPS Georgia Studies 8 (45.00900) YL IC

Which line from the journal best explains why the author believes the Europeans can convert the American Indians?

Answer
A
“They account after death to go into an other world pointing eastward.”
B
“When they saw us at prayer they observed us with great silence.”
C
“They are . . . apt both to understand and speak our language.”
D
“God hath . . . preserved us hither from all dangers both of sea and land.”

Explanation

The author believes the American Indians can be converted because they seem capable of understanding and speaking the Europeans’ language. That would make it possible to teach them Christian beliefs. Choice C says they are “apt both to understand and speak our language,” while the other lines describe their beliefs, their attention during prayer, or the Europeans’ survival.
