Although Mrs. Mallard's hear trouble appears to refer only to a physical condition, her true trouble is that, despite the fact that she is married to a good man, she is unhappy because she does not feel free. In this sense, it is symbolic of the unease that this lack of independence brings her. Also, the mention of her heart condiion at the beinning ofthe paragraph anticipates her eventual death. At first, the reader might think that it is the news of her husband's death that will cause Mrs. Mallard's own decease, but what triggers her heart attack is the revelation that the news were false, and that she has lost all the freedom that she had just begun to envision.

Kipish [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The effect of conquest and settlement on the total population of native civilizations was that the European conquerors brought killer diseases that almost wiped out 80 percent of the Native American Indians tribes.

That was the case. for instance, of the Spanish conquerors in Mesoamerica, the Caribbean, and South America. Spanish people brought diseases such as cholera, smallpox, chickenpox, typhus,  influenza, and measles. And of course, Native Indians had no defenses in their immune systems to that unknown diseases for them.
