| Two half-brothers, Sir Humphrey Gilbert
and Sir Walter Raleigh, were the first Englishmen to undertake serious ventures
in America. Gilbert, one of the more earnest seekers of the Northwest Passage,
went to Newfoundland in 1578 and again in 1583 but failed to colonize the
territory either time and lost his life on the re. mm voyage to England after
the second attempt. Raleigh, in turn, was granted the right to settle in
"Virginia" and to have control of the land within a radius of 200 leagues from
any colonists to the new continent. The first landed on the island of Roanoke
off the coast of what is now North Carolina and stayed less than a year;
anything but enthusiastic about their new home, these first colonists returned
to England with Sir Francis Drake in the summer of 1586. Undaunted, Raleigh
solicited A. they were attacked by the Indians. B. they didn’t have adequate supplies. C. they had no passion for their new home at all. D. they didn’t receive enough financial aid. [单项选择]How many brothers does Sally have
