When American colonists dreamed of their ideal land, they were probably dreaming of the middle colonies: Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, and New Jersey. In these four colonies there were long, navigable rivers and rich soils. The sun was bright, the temperature
moderate, the growing season long. The typical farm in the middle colonies was 200 acres, of which, perhaps one-half was cleared and
planted. The farmers grew vegetables and fruit, but their major crop was grain: wheat, barley, oats, rye, and corn. Even with the poor
tools and the wasteful techniques of colonial agriculture, Pennsylvania farmers could produce a surplus. Thus the middle-colony farmers
were not just self-sufficient; they were commercial farmers. Their colonies were nicknamed the "bread colonies" because of all the grain
they sold each year to other English colonies and to Europe.
13) The passage gives the illusion that...
A. The fertile lands of the colonies made for good farming
B. It was very difficult to farm in the middle colonies
C. No one farmed in the middle colonies
D Farmers in the middle colonies only grew vegetables

And whereas our provinces in north america, have been frequently ravaged by indian enemies, more especially that of south-carolina, which in the late war, by the neighboring savages, was laid waste with fire and sword and great numbers of english inhabitants, miserably massacred, and our loving subjects who now inhabit them, by reason of the smallness of their numbers, will in case of a new war, be exposed to the late calamities; inasmuch as their whole southern frontier continueth unsettled, and lieth open to the said savages. and whereas we think it highly becoming our crown and royal dignity, to protect all our loving subjects, be they ever so distant from us; to extend our fatherly compassion even to the meanest and most unfortunate of our people, and to relieve the wants of our above mentioned poor subjects; and that it will be highly conducive for accomplishing those ends, that a regular colony of the said poor people be settled and established in the southern territories of carolina."- from  charter of georgia, 1732 based on the passage, it can be determined that the main reason the king of england wishes to establish a new southern colony is becausea)he wants to provide a safe haven for all of his loyal british subject'sb)he wants to protect the fathers of each family in order to keep them safe.c)he wants to make sure there will be enough soldiers in the event of another war.d)he wants to use the new colony to protect the other colonies from attack
