Answer 1

The correct statement that accurately compares the cultural characteristics of Indigenous cultures in Texas is:

The Atakapa of the Gulf culture lived in semi-permanent wigwams, while the Puebloan lived in permanent homes made of soil, grasses, and poles.

This statement highlights the differences in housing and lifestyle between the Atakapa and Puebloan cultures, which is an important aspect of their cultural characteristics.

The other statements contain inaccuracies. Not all Indigenous cultures practiced animism in the same way, the Caddo's homes were often built on raised platforms rather than just mounds, and not all Indigenous peoples from these cultures lived in teepees; that is more characteristic of Plains cultures specifically.
