Answer 1

John McLoughlin accomplished the following in the Pacific Northwest:

• Provided food for settlers in need: McLoughlin was known for his humanitarian efforts and helped provide food and supplies to settlers.

• Moved from Vancouver to Fort George: McLoughlin was based at Fort Vancouver, which was the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company in the Columbia River region, and he played a significant role in the operations of Fort George (later known as Astoria).

Additionally, while he was associated with the Hudson's Bay Company, he did not establish the American Fur Company or missions, nor is there significant evidence that he developed a scorched earth plan or actively killed Nor’westers.

Therefore, the correct responses would be:

• Provided food for settlers in need
• Moved from Vancouver to Fort George
