D) The French and Belgians were able to go with the Phoenicians to see if these ’poor savages’ were civilized enough to join and begin a common community.

Answer 1

You haven't attached Paragraph 4, so I'll answer the question according to my understanding.

C) They sailed to France and Belgium and told them that England and Scotland was a land they (the Phoenicians) had been to and found tin and lead there.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Phoenicians" were very skilled in building ships and navigating turbulent waters. This allowed them to travel and trade from one place to the other.

Upon reaching the Islanders, they were able to trade with them. The Islanders gave them metals in exchange for their goods. These people in Britain were actually poor savages and didn't look clean. Yet, the Phoenicians sailed to France and Belgium and told them that "Britain" (England and Scotland) was a land where they had found "tin" and "lead." These materials were very important during those times. The French and the Belgians were then convinced and decided to come over the Islands as well.
