Question 1 - To find the answer to this question, you need to have some knowledge about the Sioux and their habitat. The Sioux is a Native American tribe that historically occupied certain regions of North America. To determine their specific region, let's review the options provided:
1. The Eastern woodlands of North America: The Eastern woodlands were primarily inhabited by tribes such as the Iroquois, Algonquin, and Shawnee, not the Sioux. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.
2. Southern Mexico and Central America: The Sioux were not located in this region. It is home to the civilizations of the Maya, Aztec, and Inca, among others, but not the Sioux.
3. The Pacific Northwest of North America: The Pacific Northwest was primarily inhabited by tribes such as the Chinook, Tlingit, and Haida, not the Sioux. This region is not associated with the Sioux.
4. The Central Plains of North America: The Central Plains of North America is the correct region associated with the Sioux. The Sioux tribes, including the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota, were mainly located in present-day states such as North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and parts of surrounding states.
Therefore, the answer to Question 1 is: 4. the Central Plains of North America.
Question 2 - To determine the significance of the House of Burgesses, let's analyze the options provided:
1. It limited the king by making him consult with the nobles and church leaders in order to raise taxes: This option does not accurately describe the significance of the House of Burgesses. The House of Burgesses was a legislative assembly established in the Virginia Colony and did not specifically focus on limiting the king's powers.
2. It was the first instance of limited self-government in the English colonies: This option accurately describes the significance of the House of Burgesses. It was the first representative assembly in the English colonies, granting colonists a degree of self-government and the ability to pass laws and make decisions.
3. It governed the colony of Virginia harshly, like a military outpost, leading to mass exodus of settlers: This option does not accurately describe the House of Burgesses. It did not govern harshly or function as a military outpost, nor did it lead to a mass exodus of settlers.
4. It mediated conflicts between the colonial government and religious leaders: This option does not accurately describe the House of Burgesses. While the House of Burgesses could address conflicts, its primary significance was related to self-government, not religious mediation.
Therefore, the answer to Question 2 is: 2. It was the first instance of limited self-government in the English colonies.
