The governor [Hernando de Soto] reached Acoste in seven days. On the second of July, he ordered the camp made in the open field

two crossbow flights from the town and with eight men of his guard he went toward the town where he found the cacique [chief ], who apparently received him with great friendliness. While he was talking with him, some of the foot soldiers went to the town from the camp to look for maize, and not being satisfied with it, went rummaging around and searching the houses and seized what they found. Annoyed at this the Indians began to get excited and to seize their arms. Some of them with clubs in their hands went to five or six Christians [Spaniards] who angered them and with blows served them to their liking. The governor seeing them all excited and himself among them with so few Christians, in order to escape out of their hands, practiced a stratagem quite contrary to his usual disposition which was very direct and open; and although it grieved him greatly that any Indian should dare, either with or without reason, to show contempt for the Christians, he seized a club and went to their aid against his own men, which was done for the purpose of assuring them [the Indians]. . . . He secretly sent a message to camp through a man for armed men to come to him. He took the cacique by the hand while conversing with him very courteously and with some of the principal Indians who were with him drew him from the town to a level road, and within sight of the camp whence the Christians began gradually to come. . . and to take position round about. Thus the governor led the cacique and his principal men until he got into the camp with them. When near his tent, he ordered them to be placed under guard and told them that they could not go until giving him a guide and Indians for carrying [the possessions of the Spaniards]. . . .
Based on the above passage, how would you describe the relationship between the Spaniards and the Indians?


A. Beneficial

B. Oppressive

C. Passive

D.Equal

Colonist C is a wealthy tea merchant in Boston. Colonist C's goal in life is to make money and he
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Colonist C is a Patriot.

Explanation:

From what I'm looking at, we see Colonist C is illegally importing tea from the Dutch after the Townshend Acts placed a tax on tea. That is an example of Patriotism. We also see that his goal is to make money and doesn't care if he violates the law. Saying that he might be protesting against Britain by illegally importing Dutch tea, it is likely that Colonist C is a Patriot.

How did physical and human characteristics help ancient china grow
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Sometimes people describe China's landscape as being like a staircase with three steps. The top step of this staircase is in the west, where the Himalaya mountains are (India is on the other side of these mountains).
CHINESE ANIMALSCHICKENSPEACHESTEAHIMALAYA MOUNTAINSTibet is in this part of China. People call it "the roof of the world." The tops of the mountains have snow even in the summertime. In winter, the whole area is very cold - it can be as cold as -40 Fahrenheit (that's the same in Celsius). But in the summer it can get hot, up to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Panda bears live mostly in the mountains of south-western China.
Gobi desert Gobi DesertThen in the middle of China is the second step of the staircase. There are still hills, but they are lower and not snowy anymore. Actually, most of this middle part of China is deserts. The most famous is the Gobi Desert. Some of it is grassland where you can graze cattle (mostly yaks) but you can't farm. Mongolia is in this part of China. Here, too, it gets very cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
Yangtze riverYangtze River, ChinaIn Eastern China, nearer to the Pacific Ocean, is the bottom step of the staircase. There are long rivers running all through this part of China, running down to the Pacific Ocean. The two biggest rivers are the Yangtze and the Yellow Rivers. Most of the people of China live around here, where they can get plenty of water for farming. In the northern part, people mostly grow wheat, and in the southern part, they mostly grow rice. In this part of China, which people who live there call the Middle Kingdom, it doesn't get as hot or as cold. But in the spring, when the snow melts in the mountains, these rivers often flood.

 Northeastern China has lots of forests and in the forests there are deer and even reindeer, and tigers.
In the very southernmost part of China, there's one more kind of climate, which is almost a tropical rainforest or jungle. It's hot and wet there in the summer, and sometimes there are typhoons (tie-FOONS), tropical storms like hurricanes. Even in winter, it never really gets cold. Ginseng, a plant people used for medicine, grows here. There are elephants, wild chickens, leopards, and all sorts of other jungle animals.
