(1 point)

he desired to move further inland where soil was better for farming.
he thought the government had too much power.
he was forced out by native americans.
he wanted to start a colony with big plantations.

Explanation:

Thomas Hooker left the Massachusetts Bay Colony mainly due to his disagreement with the government's concentration of power. The other options are incorrect: moving for better farming soil, being forced out by Native Americans, or wanting big plantations don't align with historical facts about his motivation. His concern was about the government having too much power, leading him to establish the Connecticut Colony with a more democratic governance structure.

Answer:

B. He thought the government had too much power.
