Incomplete question. Here's the full question;

"Thou reproachest us, very inappropriately, that our country is a little hell in contrast with France, which thou comparest to a terrestrial paradise, inasmuch as it yields thee, so thou safest, every kind of provision in abundance. Thou sayest of us also that we are the most miserable and most unhappy of all men, living without religion, without manners, without honour, without social order, and, in a word, without any rules, like the beasts in our woods and our forests, lacking bread, wine, and a thousand other comforts which thou hast in superfluity in Europe. –"Your People Live Only Upon Cod: A Micmac Responds to the French”

The excerpt is a response to the French insistence that native people "reform” and adopt European ways of life, recorded by French priest Chrestian LeClerq.

The Algonquian speaker exemplifies which response to colonization?

A) Attempts to civilize native peoples were misplaced, as they relied on a narrow and Eurocentric definition of “civilization.”

B) While slow and difficult, a transition from traditional ways of life to more European-influenced ways of life would ultimately benefit native peoples in the long run.

C) The resistance of native populations to adopt European-influenced ways of life was the result of fear and uncertainty.

D) Native populations would be happier if they adopted European-influenced ways of life.

A) Attempts to civilize native peoples were misplaced, as they relied on a narrow and Eurocentric definition of “civilization.”

Explanation:

Note certain expressions that show how misplaced the attempt to civilize the native people were. The Europeans did not like the culture of the natives, note how they put it, "that we (the natives) are the most miserable and most unhappy of all men."

Thus, they relied on a narrow definition of civilization from only a European viewpoint.
