Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

One of the most important reasons was the prevalence of malaria and other tropical diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. These diseases killed, on average, half of the European settlers in Africa within their first year. In tropical America, conversely, diseases introduced by Europeans led to a massive population declineas many indigenous peoples in the Americas succumbed to these newly introduced diseases.
