Explanation:

The text mentions that Squanto was seen as a special instrument sent by God to help the Pilgrims, guiding them in various aspects of life. This indicates that the Pilgrims saw divine intervention in Squanto's help, which is an example of seeing divine providence in everyday life. Option A is incorrect as Squanto's positive - role contradicts viewing all Native Americans as savages. Option B is wrong because the Pilgrims needed Squanto's help, so they were not self - sufficient. Option D has no basis in the given text.

Answer:

C. saw examples of divine providence in everyday life.
