The correct match for the colonies and the reasons they were founded is:
-
Virginia - Economic: Correct. Virginia was primarily established for economic reasons, specifically for the production of tobacco and other cash crops.
-
Maryland - Political: Incorrect. Maryland was founded primarily for religious reasons, as a safe haven for Catholics.
-
Georgia - Religious: Partially Correct. Georgia was founded for social reasons, including providing a fresh start for debtors and as a buffer against Spanish Florida, but it also had a religious aspect by allowing religious freedom.
-
Pennsylvania - Economic: Incorrect. Pennsylvania was primarily founded by William Penn as a haven for Quakers and was based on principles of religious freedom and tolerance, although it also had economic motivations.
Thus, the only fully correct match from the options given is Virginia - Economic.
