Section F: Comprehension MCQ (5 marks)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
In leadership and origin the thirteen colonies, except New York and Delaware, were
English. During the early days, for all, save these two, the main, if not the sole current of
immigration was from England.
The colonists came from every walk of life. They were men, women, and children of
"all sorts and conditions." The major portions were yeomen, or small land owners, farm
labourers, and artisans. With them were merchants and gentlemen who brought their
stocks of goods or their fortunes to the New World. Scholars came from Oxford and
Cambridge to preach the gospel or to teach. Now and then, the son of an English
nobleman left his baronial hall behind and cast his lot with America. The people
represented every religious faith — members of the Established Church of England;
Puritans who had laboured to reform that church; Separatists, Baptists, and Friends, who
had left it altogether; and Catholics, who clung to the religion of their fathers.
