What problem did the half-way covenant try to address? a. the growing number of anglo-indian marriages. b. the shrinking number of spiritual rebirths in the puritan community. c. the need for an indian alliance in the face of indian enemies. d. the absence of a charter for the colony of massachusetts.

A. The growing number of Anglo-Indian marriages.

Explanation:

During the period of settlement, many white settlers interacted with people from indian communities and fell in love with them.

At that time, the puritans saw this as a problem (since the natives held a different religion than the majority of the settlers). They established half-way covenant as a way to convert the indians and the children that born from the mixed relationship into their religion.

b) trade is easy because of the direct line between their major ports. bilateral trade reached 89,6 thousand million.
