Answer 1

The statements that are not accurate descriptions of hunter-gatherers are:

1. Women search for plant foods while men herd their domesticated animals. - Hunter-gatherers typically do not herd domesticated animals, as their lifestyle does not involve animal husbandry; they do not have domesticated animals in the same way that farmers do.

2. They meet all of their food needs by killing animals. - Hunter-gatherers obtain a significant portion of their food from gathering plant foods, not solely from hunting.

The other statements about their food supply being less reliable than that of farmers and their need to move to follow animals are accurate descriptions of hunter-gatherer lifestyles.
