Answer 1

Thomas Harriot wrote the report on the new land found in Virginia because he wanted the British crown and British explorers to have more information about the unexplored lands in America.

In this case, we can say that option 2 is the correct option.

Harriot's report was titled "A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia." In this report Harriot showed:

• The presence and behavior of the natives.
• The fertility of the land.
• The possibility of establishing agricultural crops efficiently.
• The topography and relief of the place.
• Lack of precious metals like other and silver.
• The vegetation.
• The existence of edible vegetables.
• The existence of water bodies.
• The weather.

With Harriot's report, English explorers could see the potential of Virginia, even though it was not a land rich in precious metals. This allowed the establishment of the English in this land and the success of the colony of Viginia.
