b) their desire to reform the church of england.
c) the lyrical beauty of anne bradstreet's verse.
d) their tendency to be highly educated,

B) Their desire to reform the church of England.

Explanation:

The Puritans are a group of Protestant Christians during the 16th and 17th centuries who wanted to reform the Church of England from being too overtly Catholic and difficult for the Protestants to be involved. They wanted the reformation of the church from the Roman Catholic practices, and be more Protestant for the whole Christian believers.

The name "Puritan" is derived from the stand of the Protestant believers who believe and work towards reforming the Church from its majority Catholic practices. This desire to bring about changes in the Church so as to make it more Protestant friendly led to the many Puritanical establishments and colonies in the early settlements in America.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
