Fagan suggests that a serious drought--the worst in centuries--contributed to famine for both the colonists on Roanoke Island and the Croatan natives in 1587-89 and probably led to the colonists' demise. While the Roanoke colonists may not have been adequately prepared for survival in the New World, Fagan maintains that the difficult weather conditions would have made failure quite likely for almost any colony in that time and place (96). Is this an ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE paraphrase?

According to Fagan, the Roanoke colonists were last seen by Europeans on August 22, 1587, in the middle of the driest growing season in eight hundred years. Even as the British departed, the colony's Indian friends were worried about the bad potential for their harvest. The dry conditions lasted for two more years and brought about a serious famine both for the native Croatan people and the Roanoke colonists. The dependence of the British colonists on the Croatan must have exacerbated the severe shortage of provisions. Although many historians have blamed the Roanoke colonists for bad preparation and for an apparent lack of concern over how they would eat, even the best prepared colony would have been threatened by the drought of 1587-89 (96). Is this an ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE paraphrase?
