The total distance marched from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to Camp O'Donnell is variously reported by differing sources as between 60 and 69.6 miles (96.6 and 112.0 km).

. Why were the Plains Village Farmers considered more effective hunters? Question 1 options:
Julli [10]

Answer:

C. They had mastered the art of the bow and arrow

Explanation:

The Plains Village Farmers considered more effective hunters due to their mastery of the art of the bow and arrow.

The use of the spear was replaced by the bow and arrow. Although they were primarily food gatherers they also hunted down animals as source of food.

Their mastery of the tool made them formidable and eased the stress of getting animals as food back then.

How did the articles of confederation make our court system confusing?
lara [203]
