Answer 1

The statement that correctly 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 accurately reflects the differences in housing and lifestyle between these two groups. The Atakapa, located in the Gulf region, often used wigwams, which are semi-permanent structures, whereas the Puebloan cultures, found further west, typically constructed adobe homes that are more permanent. The other statements are either inaccurate or overly broad.
