Answer: B. "Being, after some time of entertainment and gifts, dismissed, a while after he came again, and 5 more with him, and they brought again all the tools that were stolen away before, and made way for the coming of their great Sachem, called Massasoyt; who, about 4 or 5 days after, came with the chief of his friends and other attendance, with the aforesaid Squanto."

Step-by-step explanation:

When the European colonists arrived at the Plymouth Plantation, the Native Americans were hostile, as they feared that the Europeans will take their land and possessions.

In this excerpt from William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation, the act of bringing the gifts and returning the tools that were previously stolen indicates that the Indians want to reconcile. Moreover, it is stated that the chiefs of clans came and thus showed that they were willing to build a positive relationship with the European colonists.
