Final answer:

The statement in the question is True. Christianity and the figure of the Virgen de Guadalupe found acceptance among people accustomed to a pantheon of gods.


Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Social Studies and it is targeted towards High School level students.

The statement in the question is True. The question is referring to the historical context of the colonization of the Americas, particularly in Mexico and Latin America.

Before the arrival of Christianity, the indigenous people of Mexico and Latin America followed their own polytheistic religions with multiple gods. However, with the introduction of Christianity by Spanish colonizers, only one God, the Christian God, was placed before them. While the indigenous people were accustomed to a pantheon of gods, they quickly accepted the Christian saints and figures like the Virgen de Guadalupe, incorporating them into their existing beliefs and practices.
