Rhode Island is located just east of the colony of ______________ and south of ___________?

The first one says the COLONY. That would put the British Colony as the answer because the 13 colonies made a vertical line across the east coast. The left of Rhode Island is Connecticut, which was one of the 13 colonies.

Rhode Island is south of...is the question referring to another colony or now something different? If its referring to a state, then it's Massachusetts. But another colony answer? Again the British Colony is the answer cause Massachusetts was once a colony of England. There you go!

Hope this helped! ;)

Connecticut, Massachusetts
