Hi! I just needed someone to check my answer on this question before I turned it in.
Although they are considered an important part of Native American culture, there were no ____ in the Americas before Spanish explorers arrived.
A: tomatoes (I pick this)
B: beads
C: deer
D: horses
Thanks :)
No. Tomatoes are native to the Americas. Try reading your text materials instead of guessing.
Reed do you realize how rude that was what if it was her/his actual answer and you're going to bring them down like that?
Hello! It's great that you're double-checking your answer before submitting it. Let's go through the question and options together.
The question states that before Spanish explorers arrived in the Americas, there were no ____________ in Native American culture. The blank is asking for something that was not present before the Spanish explorers came.
Let's evaluate each option:
Option A: Tomatoes: Tomatoes are actually a native plant to the Americas, so they were present before Spanish explorers arrived. It means that tomatoes existed in Native American culture before the Spanish explorers arrived.
Option B: Beads: Beads could have been a part of Native American culture before the Spanish explorers arrived, so it's not a correct answer.
Option C: Deer: Deer are native to the Americas, so they were present in Native American culture before the arrival of Spanish explorers. Therefore, this is not the correct answer.
Option D: Horses: Horses were actually brought to the Americas by the Spanish explorers. They were not part of Native American culture before the arrival of the Spanish. Therefore, this seems to be the correct answer.
Based on the explanation, it appears that your initial answer A: tomatoes is incorrect, and the correct answer is D: horses.
