because he is that the right

a small town is a good definition for new france in 1750. new france was the area colonized by france in north america. the area is nowadays the city of quebec in canada.

the answer is d.index

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
