题目解析:
根据原文Student: Why did England
let the colonies have their own governments in the first place? It seems like
they'd want to have more control over them...you know, by governing them directly.
M: Yeah, that's a good point. In fact, the colonies were given a lot more
liberties than you'd expect, partly because England was somewhat preoccupied at
the time. See, not long after most of these colonies were founded, English
society got caught up in civil conflict.可知,英国一开始允许美国殖民地自治是因为英国暂时担忧国内混乱。所以C选项正确。
