What does  of plymouth plantation  reveal about the pilgrims' readiness to establish a new colony where they landed? they were prepared to build shelters and to grow food to support themselves comfortably if the ship left before spring. they were not prepared for the harshness of the environment or the hostility of the american indians, and they had little food if the ship left before spring. they had enough food to survive the winter without the ship, but no adequate means to protect themselves against the harsh environment or the american indians. they could easily protect themselves against the harsh environment and the american indians, but they did not have enough food to survive the winter without the ship.

The first one, They were prepared to build shelters and to grow food to support themselves comfortably if the ship left before spring, is the correct answer because it shows that they were ready in case something happened to support themselves anyway.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
