    The primary purposes for the English colony in Virginia were to search for gold and look for other ways to make a profit (money).

    Explanation:

    The Virginia Company (group of settlers that were sent to Virginia to estabish a colony) wanted to make profits by searching for gold (a yellow precious valuable metal) or other ways to make a profit such as growing crops for trade. It was not easy for them because of famine (they had nothing to eat), diseases or conflicts with the local Native American Tribes. Virginia's first profitable export was tobacco, which allowed them to start developing their colony.
