Answer:

B. Rhetorical question

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is an "apparent question" as its purpose is not to get an answer (in fact, it does not require one) but to make a statement, and lay emphasis on some point. In the excerpt, that is what the speaker aims to do. He or she begins by stating a point: "unjust laws exist", and provides a question with several options (as if to make the reader think), and ends the question with a final option "or shall we transgress them at once?" The author is not really asking, his purpose is to lay emphasis in the point that laws are unjust and therefore, we should do something about, we should transgress them at once, and fight to make them just.

Answer:

Option A, The colonists enjoyed religious freedom, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The Middle Colonies were a part of the Thirteen British Colonies in America. The province was initially settled by Europeans but following the surrender of Fort Amsterdam, it became a proprietary colony of the British. In the year 1665, a document for religious freedom called "The Concession and Agreement" was produced to attract settlers. Since religion was one of the very sensitive issues during the time, people who were seeking religious freedom moved to such colonies. As a result, the people of New Jersey consisted of Protestant and Catholic faiths.
