Thank you, Ms. Sue.
You're welcome, Tristan.
To answer the first question, "Select one-way Native American societies modified their environments to meet their needs?", we need to examine each option and determine which one describes a modification made by Native American societies to their environment.
A. The Natchez of the Southeast region made clothing out of fur and waterproof boots from sealskin.
B. Cultures of the Southwest used irrigation methods to maintain steady water supply and used cliff homes as protection against intruders.
C. In the Eastern Woodlands, Native Americans used clay to make houses and tools.
D. Farming communities of the Great Plains relied on tepees for permanent shelter.
Option B, "Cultures of the Southwest used irrigation methods to maintain steady water supply and used cliff homes as protection against intruders," describes a modification made by Native American societies to their environment. They developed irrigation systems to ensure a constant supply of water for their crops and built homes in the cliffs for protection.
Now, let's move on to the second question, "How did the arrival of the Europeans change the lives of Native Americans?"
A.) Native Americans were able to remain isolated due to the distances between community groups.
B.) Native Americans introduced horses, cows, and pigs.
C.) Europeans introduced the Native Americans to corn, sweet potatoes, and beans.
D.) Over time, Native Americans added European plants, animals, and farming systems to their ways of life.
Option C, "Europeans introduced the Native Americans to corn, sweet potatoes, and beans," describes how the arrival of Europeans changed the lives of Native Americans. Europeans brought new crops to the Americas, which became important parts of the Native Americans' diet and influenced their agricultural practices.
Therefore, the correct answers are:
1.) B. Cultures of the Southwest used irrigation methods to maintain steady water supply and used cliff homes as protection against intruders.
2.) C.) Europeans introduced the Native Americans to corn, sweet potatoes, and beans.
