Answer 1

The most accurate response regarding the similarities in life for colonists across the Middle Colonies is:

Households were largely self-sufficient.

The Middle Colonies, which included Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware, had a mix of small farms and some urban areas, but many households were indeed self-sufficient, relying on their own production for food, clothing, and other necessities. While there were similarities in housing structures and some economic motivations, the diversity in religion and reasons for settling (including seeking religious freedom) differentiates them from having all practiced the same religion or settled solely for economic reasons.
