Answer 1

B. Rocky soil that was not good for farming

Answer 2

Answer:

Option: B) rocky soil that was not good for farming.

Explanation:

When the first settlers of Jamestown came to America, they were facing difficulties, which were hostile Indians, disease, and food shortages. The settlers were not well acquainted with Virginia's soil. This made it difficult for them to grow enough crops to feed themselves. Supplies were shipped from England, and it took too long to arrive, which resulted in starvation and death in Jamestown.
