Question

During the mid-17th century, an english shoemaker named _________ founded the religious society of friends, which became known as the quakers.

a. samuel de champlain
b. martin luther
c. john calvin
d. george fox

Answer 1

Pretty quickly we can tell that it's not Martin Luther or John Calvin because Martin Luther sparked the reformation and John Calvin began the denomination called Calvinism.

Samuel de Champlain is a French name (the "de Champlain" gives it away) and the French were in the far north. Quakers were centered in New England (obviously founded by England), therefore that leaves us with the best option: George Fox.

Answer 2

During the mid-17th century, an English shoemaker named George Fox founded the religious society of friends, which became known as the Quakers. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or option "d". I hope the answer helped you.
