Which term refers to a Roman Catholic priest who travels for religious charity work and promotion of religion, built churches and schools, arriving in the West in 1818?

• A. York boats
• B. Roman Catholic Missionaries
• C. Provisional Government
• D. Nor'westers

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is people who travel to help communities by performing religious charity and spreading their faith, often setting up churches and schools along the way. Roman Catholic missionaries are exactly that kind of travelers who go to new areas to teach, assist local people, and establish religious institutions. Their arrival in the West around 1818 fits the historical pattern of missionaries moving into expanding frontiers to provide both spiritual guidance and education, helping to shape new settlements.

York boats are vessels used for transporting goods and people, not the people who do charitable religious work. A Provisional Government refers to a temporary political authority, not religious mission work. Nor’westers were fur traders, not clergy, so they aren’t the term that describes traveling priests who build churches and schools.
