Where did the Eleutheran Adventurers come from?

• A. Bermuda
• B. Jamaica
• C. Barbados
• D. Bahamas

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is tracing where the Eleutheran Adventurers started before they moved to the Bahamas. They were English Puritans who began in Bermuda and, around 1648, sailed to the Bahamas to establish a settlement where they could practice their beliefs freely. The name Eleutheran Adventurers comes from their destination in the Bahamas (the island of Eleuthera) and their hope for liberty—the word Eleuthera itself means freedom. So, their origin is Bermuda, even though they later settled in the Bahamas and helped establish communities there. The other places listed—Jamaica, Barbados, or the Bahamas—are locations associated with later colonies or settlements, not where this group came from.
