Answer:

This was what he had thought:

Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts.Arawak men and women, naked, tawny, and full of wonder, emerged from their villages onto the island's beaches and swam out to get a closer look at the strange big boat. When Columbus and his sailors came ashore, carrying swords, speaking oddly, the Arawaks ran to greet them, brought them food, water, gifts. He later wrote of this in his log:

They ... brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells. They willingly traded everything they owned... . They were well-built, with good bodies and handsome features.... They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane... . They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

B. promote fairness for everybody in a community

Explanation:

The free enterprise system is the economic system adopted in the USA. This system promotes economic and commercial freedom, where trade is not required to follow government dictates. The government, in turn, cannot interfere with anything in the trade, only promote the protection of private property.

The free initiation system has profits as incentives to trade. This means that companies in a free enterprise system make the majority of their decisions in order to increase their profits as much as possible.
