Answer 1

Farmers in southern Germany in 1730 would have had mixed feelings about moving to America due to the promised religious freedom but B. concerns about the language and customs barrier.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were a farmer in southern Germany in 1730 and heard stories about a place in America where people of all religions are welcome, you might have felt excited about the religious freedom that awaited you.

Moving to a country where you would be free to live and worship as you like would have been a refreshing change from the religious wars that tore your country apart for many years.

However, you might also have been concerned about the language and customs barrier since the leaders of the colony, and many of its people, were English and you would not know their language or customs.

Therefore, you would have mixed feelings about moving to a country full of strangers, with excitement for the religious freedom but also B. concerns about the language and customs barrier.
