Answer 1

Based on historical context, you can infer that:

• Spanish colonists felt that they were superior to Native Americans.

This viewpoint stemmed from a combination of cultural, religious, and racial beliefs prevalent among the Spanish during their colonization efforts.

For the problems faced by the English colonists at Jamestown, the applicable issues are:

• The location of the colony made life difficult for the settlers.
• They settled in an unsecure location and were vulnerable to Spanish attack.
• The settlers believed that farming was beneath them, so they did not plant crops for the winter.

These problems contributed to the struggles and high mortality rates in the early years of the Jamestown settlement. The choice regarding indentured servants is less relevant to the initial challenges faced by the settlers.
