Okay, here's the excerpt.
- 00:13
[ mumbles ]
- 00:17
[ mumbling continues ]
- 00:21
All right, and the question:
- 00:23
The excerpt reflects a common practice of the time in which... what?
- 00:28
And here are your potential answers.
- 00:30
[ mumbles ]
- 00:35
Okay.
- 00:36
Take a look at that first sentence from the excerpt again.
- 00:39
"For this reason he had sent us
- 00:41
hither to put an end to so much misery."
- 00:45
Sounds like Castillo didn't think too highly of those
- 00:48
frenemies across the sea.
- 00:50
So does the excerpt reflect a common practice of the time in which A -
- 00:54
monarchs included clergy among the early explorers of new lands?
- 00:59
Hmm. Well the the end of the excerpt makes it seem like
- 01:02
these explorers were waiting for people who could
- 01:05
explain these things more fully to them,
- 01:08
"things" being the ins and outs of Christianity.
- 01:11
[ chuckles ] So that spirits away A.
- 01:13
Does the excerpt support the idea that B -
- 01:16
Europeans learned to embrace the customs of other cultures?
- 01:19
Anything but, right?
- 01:21
On top of wanting to put an end to so much misery,
- 01:23
Europeans paid little attention to the ins and outs of Native culture.
- 01:27
So that wipes out B and C.
- 01:29
Which means that the excerpt reflects a common practice of the time in which
- 01:32
D - Native Americans were seen as uncivilized
- 01:35
when held to European standards.
- 01:37
Back then, most Europeans believed that Native Americans
- 01:40
were uncivilized and needed to be "saved,"
- 01:43
which the Spaniards believed was possible
- 01:46
through Jesus Christ.
- 01:47
So D is the correct answer.
- 01:49
Of course, much of that saving fell a little bit short
- 01:52
what with widespread disease and warfare
- 01:55
eradicating the population.
- 01:56
Sounds more like an uncivilizing affect.
- 02:00
[ crash ]
