Answer:

Option C. Franklin's "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" differ from Rowlandson's "The Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" in the sense that while Franklin aimed to increase tolerance of Native Americans, Rowlandson aimed to increase the settler's devotion to their covenant with God.

Explanation:

In "Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America" Benjamin Franklin criticize Native Americans being referred as "savages" based only on the fact that their customs differ from the settlers. His words are aimed to increase tolerance of Native Americans, and to people to practice being polite and tolerant with those who have different cultures. On the contrary to Franklin's efforts to unify both communities, Mary Rowlandson in her captive narrative book called "The Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" describes the Native Americans as violent savages, and mainly focuses her writing to spread the message that the settlers should increase their devotion to their covenant with God.
