Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at the map, you can see that the major European areas were all close to major bodies of water. Though this map only shows some of the European settlements, in those early years all major settlements were a very short distance from water. This was not just for drinking water, but for transportation of goods and people, and for irrigation purposes.

Answer 2

d.All of the settlements were close to major bodies of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the map you can observe that all of the settlements that were located in america were settled near major bodies of water, in bays, and in major rivers, this was because the first settlers that came from England were arriving on boats and the best way to access the new settlements was by boat, so most of the settlements were close to major bodies of water so they were reachable.
