Answer 1

You are correct actually, the answer is A!

The other person who answered C, "Randolph states that the AMerican Indian methods for styling or wearing hair are examples of their lifestyle that reveal their heathen nature" has nothing to do with the context of the excerpt, and the only one that makes sense is A, since it relates to King Philip's war.

Answer 2

The correct option is: RANDOLPH STATES THAT THE AMERICAN INDIAN METHOD FOR STYLING OR WEARING HAIR ARE EXAMPLES OF THEIR LIFESTYLE THAT REVEAL THEIR HEATHEN NATURE.
The puritan are religious people who believed that the American Indian are evil, a bunch of sinners who will end up in hell fire and they do all they can to oppress them.
