Answer

Brief Explanations:

To insert two dashes (an em dash, represented by two consecutive en dashes or a single em dash) for parenthetical or explanatory information, we need to set off the phrase "one of the first leaders of Virginia's Jamestown Colony" from the main subject "Captain John Smith" and the main verb "created". So we place two dashes (or an em dash) after "Smith" and before "created".

Answer:

Captain John Smith -- one of the first leaders of Virginia's Jamestown Colony -- created a dictionary containing more than five hundred Powhatan words, including Chesapeake, opossum, persimmon, and raccoon.
