You did not include the statements you were asked to choose from, but the Europeans sincerely believed that their duty was to conquer the native populations and "civilize" them-- this meant converting them to Christianity. It also meant taking control of their lands. Some natives were impressed and in awe of the Europeans, but that quickly turned to regret when it become apparent the explorers had not come there just for adventure, but rather, for conquest. So, one result of the encounter was the two groups met for the first time and in some ways, there was an exchange of cultures and customs. But another result was the subjugation of those native populations, as the Europeans (including explorers from Spain and Portugal) claimed the lands for their home countries.

Who found the Native American first?

The first Europeans to encounter Native Americans were likely Norse explorers, such as Leif Erikson, around the year 1000 AD, who reached parts of North America, specifically present-day Newfoundland, Canada. However, the more widely recognized arrival was that of Christopher Columbus in 1492, who landed in the Caribbean and subsequently initiated widespread contact between Europeans and Native American populations. This led to significant cultural exchanges, conflicts, and changes in both societies.

You might encounter such a stratification system in South Africa, where society is historically divided along racial lines into four main groups: Europeans (whites), Africans (blacks), Coloureds (mixed-race), and Asians (Indian and other Asian populations).
