all clamined lands once ocupied by Native Americans
altered the land for their benefit
they had great respect for the Native Americans

Answer 1

The European groups that established settlements in the New World commonly shared the following beliefs and actions:

1. Believed they were superior to Native Americans - Many European settlers considered themselves culturally and racially superior to Indigenous peoples, often leading to justifications for their colonization efforts.

2. All claimed lands once occupied by Native Americans - European settlers frequently claimed territory that had been inhabited by Native American tribes.

3. Altered the land for their benefit - European settlers typically modified the landscape to suit their agricultural, economic, and settlement needs, often disregarding the existing land use by Native Americans.

The statement "they had great respect for the Native Americans" does not apply broadly to all European groups, as many engaged in actions that showed a lack of respect for Native cultures, practices, and rights.

So, the applicable choices are:

• Believed they were superior to Native Americans
• All claimed lands once occupied by Native Americans
• Altered the land for their benefit
