A.
the ship that transported the Pilgrims to America
B.
the colonial legislature of Virginia
C.
the agreement in which the Pilgrims agreed to make decisions collectively
D.
Benjamin Franklin's 1754 plan for uniting the colonies
E.
the list of grievances against the King of England

Answer 1

C) The agreement in which the Pilgrims agreed to make decisions collectively

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mayflower Compact was an agreement between the Pilgrims to make decisions collectively and together. It was a set of rules for self-governance.

You can rule out A) because the ship that transported the Pilgrims to America was named the Mayflower.

You can rule out B) because the Pilgrims almost had nothing to do about Virginia, since they accidentally settled up north (they had intended to settle in Virginia beforehand).

You can rule out D) because Benjamin Franklin wasn't involved with the Pilgrims. Besides, he was not born yet when the Pilgrims had settled in North America.

You can rule out E) because the Pilgrims never made a list of grievances against the King of England.

Answer 2

The answer is C. the agreement in which the pilgrims agreed to make decisions collectively
