and 5. church members.
either i got it wrong or you did overall AMAZINGG

Thank you for your feedback! Let's clarify those two questions:

  1. What was the main reason that early settlers gradually spread across the Americas?
    The correct answer is "They often relocated to find more favorable farming conditions." While some groups may have been nomadic hunters, the overall gradual spread of settlers was largely influenced by agriculture and finding better farming conditions.

  2. In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the right to vote was expanded to include men who were
    The correct answer is indeed "property owners." Voting rights were typically extended to property owners rather than church members.

If you felt that "church members" was a reasonable alternative, it's worth noting that while church membership had significance, particularly for the Puritans, property ownership was a key criterion for voting in that colony.
