To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options B, C, and D as they do not match the information we know about the Ancient Puebloans. Option A aligns with their known method of adapting to the desert environment.
2. The main difference between the cultures of the Ancestral Puebloans and the Mississippians is that the Ancestral Puebloans were known for building stone homes while the Mississippians were known for building mounds.
To determine the correct answer, we can evaluate each option. Option B can be eliminated because the size of their communities is not mentioned in the question. Option C can also be eliminated as it provides information about their climate, which is not relevant to the question. Option D is incorrect because it states the chronological order of the two cultures, which is not relevant to the question. Option A matches the established knowledge that the Ancestral Puebloans are associated with stone homes and the Mississippians with mounds.
3. The relationship between American Indians and British colonists was that British colonists and American Indians often fought over land.
To identify the correct answer, we can evaluate each option. Option B can be eliminated because it provides information about the American Indians allying with the Spanish, which is not mentioned in the question. Option C is incorrect because it states that the American Indians and British colonists didn't interact, which doesn't match the historical reality. Option D is not the best answer because it only mentions the British colonists sending missionaries, which doesn't capture the entirety of the relationship. Option A aligns with the common knowledge that conflicts over land were common between American Indians and British colonists.
4. The Middle Passage was a part of the triangular trade where slaves were transported to the colonies.
To identify the correct answer, we can evaluate each option. Option A can be eliminated as it mentions the transportation of spices and herbs, not slaves. Option B can also be eliminated as it mentions the transportation of British colonists, which is not related to the Middle Passage. Option C can be eliminated as it mentions the transportation of horses and other animals, again not related to the Middle Passage. Option D matches our knowledge that the Middle Passage was the transportation of slaves as part of the triangular trade.
5. The leading theories that describe how people first arrived in North America include:
- People may have walked over a land bridge from Asia.
- People may have sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
- People may have crossed over from South America.
To identify the correct answer, we can evaluate each option. Option B can be eliminated as it only mentions traveling along the Pacific Coast, which doesn't cover all the leading theories. Option E can also be eliminated as it mentions walking across the then-frozen Pacific Ocean, which is not a widely accepted theory. Options A, C, and D match the established theories that suggest possible routes by land or sea for the initial arrival of people in North America.
