Question

which option describes one of the costs to native americans as a result of the gold rush? (1 point) some became entrepreneurs. they faced discrimination in the mines. their mill was trampled. many died from diseases.

Explanation:

To determine the cost to Native Americans from the gold rush, we analyze each option:

• "Some became entrepreneurs" is a positive outcome, not a cost.
• "They faced discrimination in the mines" is a form of mistreatment but not as direct a loss of life/health as disease.
• "Their mill was trampled" is a property - related issue, but not as impactful on human life as disease.
• During the gold rush, the influx of non - Native Americans brought new diseases to which Native Americans had no immunity, and many Native Americans died from these diseases. This is a significant cost in terms of loss of life.

Answer:

D. Many died from diseases. (Here we assume the options are labeled A, B, C, D with A: Some became entrepreneurs, B: They faced discrimination in the mines, C: Their mill was trampled, D: Many died from diseases)
