Puerto Rico
Must the Settler take a plantation or quarry?
The rulebook states this directly, and forum players agree.

No. Taking a plantation or quarry is voluntary and the Settler may pass; the rulebook says explicitly that a player need not take one. A tile you do take must be placed on your island and cannot be discarded.
