Option 4: "The marriage ended the war."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text explicitly states that Pocahontas's marriage to John Rolfe brought the war to its end. This aligns with the main idea of the text, which highlights the marriage as a pivotal moment that resolved the conflict between the British colonists and the Native Americans.

Option 1: "The marriage started a war."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that the marriage between Pocahontas and John Rolfe brought the war to its end, not that it started a war. The phrase 'brought the war to its end' clearly indicates that the marriage had a pacifying effect rather than an aggressive one.

Option 2: "The marriage brought freedom."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not mention freedom as a result of the marriage. Instead, it emphasizes that the marriage ended the war, which implies a resolution rather than freedom. The context does not support the idea of freedom being a direct outcome.

Option 3: "The marriage brought hatred."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not suggest that the marriage led to hatred. On the contrary, it indicates that the marriage was a significant factor in ending the conflict, which contradicts the notion of fostering hatred.
