Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Good Morning!

You forgot the alternatives. I found them on the web:
A. When columbus first arrived in the West Indies, I was faced with the hostility of the Taino people.
B. Columbus's men assaulted Taino men and women and claimed their land for spain.
C. After columbus's encounter, no spanish conquerors explored the americas.
D. The Spanish invaders did not have enough weapons to conquer the native americans

The answer is clearly the letter d). The Spaniards, although they had a more modern firepower, did not have in quantity the ability to defeat the natives. An Indian archer could handle more than 10 targets while a European soldier tried to reload his carbine. Hugs!
