Answer 1

an American Indian myth a European explorer’s report of a voyage

Answer 2

Answer:

A European explorer’s report of a voyage to America.

An African’s account of being enslaved in America.

A speech in support of American independence.

Explanation:

An American Indian myth would most likely not have been written, and therefore, it is not considered literature. A European explorer's account of a voyage, an African's account of being enslaved and a speech in support of American Independence all describe the life of people in early America, which makes them examples of early American literature. Finally, a primary-source document is not an example of literature.
