The correct answers are A, B, and E.

Explanation:

In Latin America, Native Americans were the first settlers. They impacted Latin America with their traditional cultures. Europeans arrived in Latin America in the late 1400, other settlers include Spanish, Portuguese and Africans (brought in as slaves in 1500).

These settlers influenced Latin America in terms of food, culture, music, religion, and art. Most regions in Latin America adopted the languages of European countries. Spanish became the official language in most countries inclusive of Latin America.
