The correct answer is:
The missions helped missionaries build relationships with Indigenous people, making it easier to settle the area.
Explanation:
The missions played a crucial role in European settlement by allowing missionaries to establish relationships with Indigenous people. Through these relationships, the missionaries were able to gain the support and cooperation of the Indigenous communities, which made it easier for European settlers to establish themselves in the area. The missions served as a central hub where missionaries could live and carry out their work, which further facilitated the settlement process. Additionally, the missions provided a place for Indigenous people to learn new skills, such as reading and writing, which could be utilized in their work within the missions. However, it's important to note that the missions were not primarily focused on providing employment opportunities for European settlers or Indigenous people, but rather on spreading Christianity and converting Indigenous communities to the European way of life.
