Answer 1

The shift from nomadic to sedentary societies in early Native American culture was primarily accounted for by:

A) A shift from hunter-gatherer to agricultural food ways

This transition allowed communities to settle in one place, as they could cultivate crops and raise animals for a stable food supply, leading to the development of permanent settlements. While the other options may have played roles in societal development, the fundamental change was the adoption of agriculture.
