Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Option B. The audience of the preceding passage was the author himself.

Explanation:

"Of Plymouth Plantation" is the personal journal of William Bradford, who was the leader of the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. The journal tells the story of the colony through a span of over 30 years and it is considered the single most important source of information about the Pilgrims.

Although the journal became a famous history source read by many, Bradford never intended to publish it himself, therefore everything that was written in it, was originally written for the author himself.
