Yes, based on historical context, the following three jobs are indeed typical of colonists in the Middle Colonies:
1. **Wheat farmer** - The Middle Colonies, which included New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, were known for their fertile land and agricultural productivity, particularly in grain farming, especially wheat.
2. **Clockmaker** - The Middle Colonies had growing towns and cities, and trades such as clockmaking emerged due to the increasing demand for craftsmanship and skilled labor.
3. **Gun maker** - The presence of settlers and the need for self-defense as well as hunting led to the establishment of various trades, including gun making.
In contrast, **tobacco farmer** is primarily representative of the Southern Colonies, where the climate and soil were more suited for tobacco cultivation.
So, the selected jobs of wheat farmer, clockmaker, and gun maker accurately reflect the types of work commonly found in the Middle Colonies.
