Explanation:

The excerpt describes the colonists kneeling to bless God for delivering them safely to land, which directly shows their religious devotion. The other options are incorrect: the American Revolution is unrelated to this 1620 account, the journey is described as having "vast and furious ocean" and perils so it was not easy, and the excerpt focuses on their religious act not the Plymouth Colony landscape.
