Explanation:

Question 5

To determine when slavery first emerged in Virginia, we analyze the options:

• The Dutch sold 20 Africans to Virginia colonists in 1619: Historical records confirm that in 1619, the Dutch brought 20 enslaved Africans to Virginia, marking the start of slavery there.
• After the defeat of Opechancanough: Opechancanough's defeat was later (1646), and slavery already existed by then.
• After Bacon's Rebellion: Bacon's Rebellion was in 1676, long after 1619.
• Slaves arrived with the very first colonists: The first colonists (early 1600s) didn't bring slaves initially; the 1619 event was the first.

To determine if religious freedom was the main motivation for all Europeans settling in the Americas, we consider:

• Many Europeans had other motivations: For example, some sought economic gain (like Spanish conquistadors for gold), land, or political opportunities. Religious freedom was a motivation for groups like the Pilgrims, but not all. So the statement is false.

The Northwest Passage was a sought - after water - route that was supposed to provide a passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, specifically to Asia (for trade and exploration purposes).

Answer:

A. The Dutch sold 20 Africans to Virginia colonists in 1619
