This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
People from ________ were most likely to go to other European countries or rival colonies before settling in one of their own ________ colonies.
a. France; French
b. the Netherlands; Dutch
c. England; English
d. Portugal; Portuguese
e. Spain; Spanish
Answer:
The correct answer is letter A. France; French
Explanation:
France established its colonies in what is now East Canada. Even though the territory was enough to handle a large population, the French showed a tendency to go to other European countries and to rival colonies before settling in one of their own. One of the reasons was the fear of Native American raids. Another was the fact that clearing land was dangerous and difficult, not being an attractive activity.
