3. Which of the following best describes the impact of European contact on Native American populations in southeastern North America during the 14th and 15th centuries?

Question

a. Europeans had a positive effect impact on Native Americans because the primitive Indians were gained access to advanced technologies.
b. Europeans had a negative effect on Native Americans because the indigenous people suffered the loss of all their cultural landmarks.
c. Europeans had both a positive and negative impact on Native Americans because trade brought metal tools but diseases caused huge losses.
d. Europeans had no effect on the lives of Native Americans because they ignored each other.

I think it's c but i'm not sure.

Answer 1

Europeans didn't even know about the Americas in the 14th and 15th centuries. The 15th century ended in 1499, just 7 years after Columbus "discovered" it.

Answer 2

So, d?

Answer 3

Ignoring each implies contact. I suppose, if you must choose one -- and the question is right, then d is the best.
