Fearful and mistrusting

Explanation:

The colonists are expressing that they think the natives of the land are savages; describing their thoughts about their behavior. Because they use negative words, it means they dislike the natives' culture. They show their disgust that the King would just leave them in a place they do not know, full of  "savages", and without instructions.

the answer is culture

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
