Which sentence is an accurate analytical statement about the purpose of school in colonial America? a. Education has always helped lift people out of poverty, even in American's earliest years.
b. Formal schooling prepared children to be moral citizens rather than preparing them for jobs.
c. During early colonial times, most children were educated just enough to read the Bible.
d. Formal schooling was supposed to prepare colonial children for specific jobs in the colony.

d. Formal schooling was supposed to prepare colonial children for specific jobs in the colony.

Explanation:

Note, an analytical statement refers to a statement of logical conclusion about a particular matter.

Since it is a historic fact that during the colonial American periods lasting from (1600 to the late 1700s), their schooling was supposed to be fine-tuned towards specific jobs in the colony.

However, it wasn't always the case as some were unable to be formally educated because they were poor, etc.

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.
