Answer 1

The economic activity that would be common in colonial New England is shipbuilding and sail repair. New England's geography and resources made it conducive to shipbuilding, which was vital for trade and fishing in that region. Other options, like the promotion of the Puritan faith, are more cultural or religious activities rather than economic ones; growing of cash crops was more typical of the Southern colonies; and the signing of the Mayflower Compact was a foundational political document rather than an economic activity.
