The correct answers are:

- Early religious, folk, and popular song traditions derived from mainland Europe;

- Native American music was deemed primitive, and thus unworthy, by European settlers;

In the early American music, the European influences were dominant because of multiple reasons. For starters, the new settlers were almost entirely from European origin, so naturally they brought the religious, folk, and popular song traditions from mainland Europe with them. The music traditions of the Native Americans were considered as primitive and unworthy, so they were neglected and pushed aside. The fact that most of the native populations died out because of diseases, and partially because of wars, meant that they did not had majority, nor power to prevent the new music traditions to overtake America.
