Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement:

1. "Those living in the Northwest had to farm for all of their food." - False. While some farming occurred, many Northwest tribes primarily relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering.

2. "Those living in the Northwest lived along the rainy coast of the Pacific Ocean." - True. Many Northwest tribes resided along the coast, benefiting from the abundant natural resources.

3. "Those living in the Southwest lived in moist, rainy climates." - False. The Southwest is generally arid and has a dry climate, not characterized by consistent moisture and rain.

4. "Those living in the Southwest hunted and gathered." - True. While agriculture (such as maize farming) was significant, many Southwestern tribes also supplemented their diet through hunting and gathering.

So, to summarize: The first and third statements are false, while the second and fourth are true.
