Answer 1

To determine which statement best describes the Mississippians, we need to analyze the provided options.

Option 1: "The Mississippians developed a complex culture and lived in the Southwest."

Option 2: "The Mississippians developed a complex culture and lived in large communities."

Option 3: "The Mississippians lived in the Northwest and hunted and gathered for survival."

Option 4: "The Mississippians were a nomadic tribe that lived in the Great Plains."

Based on the provided information, it is clear that options 3 and 4 are incorrect as they describe the Mississippians inhabiting regions in the Northwest and the Great Plains, respectively. This eliminates options 3 and 4.

Now let's compare the remaining options, options 1 and 2. Both options mention that the Mississippians developed a complex culture. However, option 1 states that they lived in the Southwest, while option 2 states that they lived in large communities. Since we don't have additional information to confirm the specific geographical location, we can conclude that both options 1 and 2 seem to describe the Mississippians accurately, with a preference for option 2 as it provides more specific information about their settlement patterns.

Therefore, the statement "The Mississippians developed a complex culture and lived in large communities" is the best fitting description among the provided options.
