The descriptions that would fit both the Paleo and Archaic Indian cultures are:
The description "They stayed in the same place for long periods of time, creating settlements" would not typically fit the Paleo culture, as they were more nomadic compared to the later Archaic cultures, which began to establish more permanent settlements.
The most accurate reason why it can be said that Europeans did not discover the Americas is:
Native Americans were already inhabiting the land in the Americas.
This emphasizes that the Americas were already populated by indigenous peoples long before European explorers arrived.
Disease resulted in the deaths of approximately a third of the Native American population during de Soto’s exploration. European explorers and settlers often brought diseases to which Native Americans had no immunity, leading to significant population declines.
The option that is NOT a reason for European exploration of the Americas is:
They were interested in trying Native American food.
While the other options reflect motivations such as economic gain, personal glory, and the spread of Christianity, interest in Native American food was not a primary reason for exploration.
According to historical accounts, de Soto's exploration of America began in Florida. He landed on the west coast of Florida in 1539 and began his expedition from there.
