This passage describes the early years of the columbian exchange. based on the passage, how did inhabitants of the new world initially perceive the arrival of merchants from the old world?
just twenty years ago, the lands were filled with peoples from different nations, each with their own customs and tongues. not a day went by without the assurance there would be plentiful land and an abundance of beasts in the forests for their peoples. their villages and settlements were many, and their societies were rich and complex. warriors, craftsmen, weavers, hunters, and dealers engaged in their everyday lives, bringing much good to their nations. but then the merchants from across the great sea started to come, and they brought with them a great many things never seen before on these shores. the inhabitants were glad at first to trade for these items they desired so greatly. but these brought only temporary benefits. for hidden in these goods was an invisible force, one that would affect every tribe in this great land. no person, regardless of stature, was spared. children, mothers, and even chiefs were no match for this unseen warrior. in the span of only three generations, the majority of their villages disappeared, and the greatest lot of their peoples walked this land no more.
a. they feared the goods they traded for were not of equal value to the goods they exchanged.
b. they viewed them as a source of trade for goods they were unable to obtain on their own.
c. they viewed them as a temporary phenomenon that would not have any lasting impact.
d. they feared that their social structures were breaking down because of the influence of foreign customs.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "the fall of the house of usher" by edgar allan poe? i looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which i can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. there was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. what was it—i paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the house of usher? it was a mystery all insoluble; nor could i grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as i pondered. i was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. it was possible, i reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, i reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows. admiration terror hope discovery loss
