Answer:
C. Par 11: "We could not defend ourselves...each one of them gave me an arrow in token of friendship"
Step-by-step explanation:
This passage from paragraph 11 shows the contrast between what the Europeans feared and what actually happened. Initially, the Europeans could not defend themselves and were at the mercy of the Native Americans. However, instead of being attacked, each Native American gave de Vaca an arrow as a sign of friendship, which was contrary to the Europeans' initial fears of hostility.
