Answer 2

Answer:

C. "When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those who did not come were punished severely."

Explanation:

In the quote shown above, we can see that the Spaniards are forcing the natives to be forced to participate in the Spanish's religious events, otherwise they would be severely punished. This means that the Spaniards wanted to force Christianity on the Hopi people, forcing them to change their religion in a violent and unethical way.
