BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the Jamestown settlement’s location along a river, named for the monarch at the time, which supplied freshwater part of the year but turned brackish at the mouth in summer.
Option 1: Henry River. This river name does not correspond to the body of water associated with Jamestown or the naming by a monarch of that era, so this choice mismatches both the historical site and the naming convention.
Option 2: Hudson River. The Hudson is a well-known river on the eastern seaboard, but it was named after Henry Hudson and is not the river along which Jamestown was founded. It does not fit the clue about being named for the current monarch of the time.
Option 3: James River. This option aligns with historical fact: Jamestown was established along the James River, which was named for King James I of England. The river’s water is freshwater for part of the year and can become brackish near the mouth in warmer months, matching the description in the question.
Option 4: York River. While the York River exists in Virginia and is regionally related to colonial geography, it was not the river along which Jamestown was founded, nor is it named after the reigning monarch of the Jamestown era in the way described.
In summary, the correct river must simultaneously be a Virginia waterway tied to Jamestown’s founding and carry a monarch’s name from that period, which is best satisfied by the James River.

Like other early colonies, Jamestown was established along a river, in this case the ____________ (named for the then current monarch) which provided freshwater part of the year but became brackish and dangerous at the mouth during the summer.
