The correct answer is D. Read and Study the Bible

Explanation:

The Puritans belonged to the English Protestantism church and wanted to purify the practices of the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestants church. During the 1600s some Puritans traveled from England to the U.S. and play an active role in the foundation of settlements in New England. During this period, Puritans sought to establish their beliefs in the settlements, among which the sermon and study of the Bible was especially important as it was the Bible the one that guided their practices, beliefs, and lifestyle due to this schools were established in Massachusetts in which children were taught to read, in this way children could read and study the bible and in consequence follow the lessons the Bible provided and the beliefs of Puritanism.
