The two problems faced by the English colonists at Jamestown were:
These issues contributed significantly to the struggles of the Jamestown colony in its early years.
Yes, I can clarify the challenges faced by the Jamestown settlers. The correct problems among the choices given are:
The location of the colony made life difficult for the settlers. - Jamestown was established in a swampy area with poor drinking water and was susceptible to disease.
The settlers believed that farming was beneath them, so they did not plant crops for the winter. - Many of the early settlers were gentlemen and did not prioritize agricultural activities, which led to severe food shortages.
