Answer 1

The key differences between a sedentary and a nomadic tribe are:

1. Living Arrangements: A sedentary tribe typically lives in permanent villages or homes, while a nomadic tribe moves from place to place, often living in portable structures, to find resources.

2. Lifestyle and Resource Management: A sedentary tribe usually engages in agriculture and stays in one location to cultivate land, whereas a nomadic tribe follows seasonal patterns to hunt, gather, or herd animals, adapting their movements according to resource availability.

Among the options you provided, the statements that reflect these differences are:

• "A nomadic tribe moved from place to place to find more resources."
• Conversely, a sedentary tribe does not move frequently but rather settles in one location.

The incorrect options relate to the nature of living arrangements and the response to the Indian Removal Act, which does not define the fundamental differences between sedentary and nomadic lifestyles.
