Answer 1

Yes, D is correct.

Answer 2

I agree. But the answer is strange in that Spain is part of Europe. I think they mean Spanish (who founded the city) and OTHER Europeans.

Answer 4

Just in case anyone was debating the credibility and legitimacy of this answer, in the Lesson 06.04 (the one the question is based on) it states:

"People from many diverse backgrounds live and trade here—Spanish, free African Americans, Seminoles, Europeans, you name it!"

Good luck friends!!!
