In paragraph 1 of Plymouth Plantation, which line best describes the author's attitude toward the "proud and very profane" young man's death?

"he would alway be contemning the poor people in their sickness and cursing them daily with grievous execrations"

"he hoped to help to cast half of them overboard before they came to their journey's end"

"But it pleased God before they came half seas over, to smite this young man with a grievous disease, of which he died in a desperate manner"

"Thus his curses light on his own head, and it was an astonishment to all his fellows for they noted it to be the just hand of God upon him."

The line in paragraph 1 of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford, that best describes his attitude toward the "proud and very profane" young man's death is option C, where he wrote that "God was pleased to smite the young man with a grievous disease."

This line captured Bradford's attitude toward the young man when he became ill and died as a result.

This shows that the author's attitude is not captured by options A and B, which developed the story about the young man, nor by option D, which concluded it.

Thus, the correct option that shows the author's attitude is Option C.
