Answer 1

The influence of Native Americans on other parts of the world, particularly through their agricultural knowledge, is best exemplified by the fourth point: **They taught settlers how to grow crops that were traded with other countries.**

Native Americans introduced European settlers to a variety of crops such as maize (corn), potatoes, tomatoes, and various beans. These crops were eventually integrated into global agricultural practices and trade, significantly influencing cuisines and economies around the world. Their agricultural techniques and knowledge about local ecosystems also contributed to sustainable farming practices.
