The correct response that describes how missions helped Europeans settle the area is:
- The missions helped missionaries build relationships with Indigenous people, making it easier to settle the area.
To arrive at this answer, we need to analyze the options and understand the purpose and role of missions in European settlement.
Option 1 states that the missions helped Indigenous people learn to read and write to work in the missions. While the missions may have provided education to Indigenous people, the focus of this question is on how missions helped Europeans settle the area, so this option does not directly address that.
Option 3 suggests that missions gave European people a place to work, making it easier to live there. While missions did provide a place for Europeans to work, this option does not explain how the missions specifically facilitated the settlement of the area by Europeans.
Option 4 states that missions gave the soldiers and missionaries a place to live, so the area could be settled. While it is true that missions provided housing for soldiers and missionaries, this option does not explain how the missions helped in settling the area beyond providing living arrangements.
The correct response, option 2, explains that missions helped missionaries build relationships with Indigenous people, making it easier to settle the area. This option acknowledges the role of missions in forming connections with Indigenous communities, which in turn facilitated the overall process of European settlement in the area.
Understanding the context and purpose of missions and their interactions with Indigenous peoples is essential to correctly answering this question.
