Answer 1

The correct option is D [A] and [R] are true but [R] is not the correct justification for [A].

Many small peasants from England moved to North America during colonisation because they were being deprived of their lands by the landlords. When the peasants from England arrived in America, the native Americans received them with warmth, and helped them with food and shelter. However, the English plundered them and drove them away from their lands, and established their own settlements.
