Question 3
A)
Use the excerpt to answer the question.

“When we stepped ashore we saw fine green trees, streams everywhere and different kinds of fruit. I called to the two captains to jump ashore with the rest,…asking them to bear solemn witness that in the presence of them all I was taking possession of this island for their Lord and Lady the King and Queen.…Soon many of the islanders gathered round us. I could see that they were people who would be more easily converted to our Holy Faith by love than by coercion.”
