Answer:
The United States believed that the economic aid provided by the Marshall Plan would help contain the spread of Communism.
The correct answer is A. They had elaborate trade networks.
Explanation
Trade networks are a form of the economic relationship between human communities in which products or services are exchanged for other goods or services or exchange currency. With the arrival of the Europeans in America, it was discovered that the native communities had a very elaborate network of commercial relations that allowed them to exchange their products with the other tribes in different parts of the wide American territory, from where they could obtain different products such as sea fish, river fish, the meat of domesticated animals, fruits, and other products of agriculture. So, the correct answer is A. They had elaborate trade networks.
The Cash and Carry Policy was all of the items purchased had to be paid with cash and then shipped from the United States on the buyers on personal ships. President Roosevelt got around the cash and carry requirement when Britain couldn't meet the terms anymore by creating the "Land-Lease Act." This allowed the United States to lend or lease arms to any country that was considered a vital asset to the defense of the United States.
The Eastern Woodlands is a cultural area of the indigenous people of North America. The Eastern Woodlands extended roughly from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern Great Plains, and from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico, which is now occupied by the eastern United States and Canada.[1] The Plains Indians culture area is to the west; the Subarctic area to the north. The Indigenous people of the Eastern Woodlands spoke languages belonging to several language groups, including Algonquian,[2] Iroquoian,[2] Muskogean, and Siouan, as well as apparently isolated languages such as Calusa, Chitimacha, Natchez, Timucua, Tunica and Yuchi.
The earliest known inhabitants of the Eastern Woodlands were the Adena and Hopewell, who inhabited the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys between 800 BC and 800 AD.[3] These tribes, as well as the other Iroquoian-speaking people, were mound builders.[4] They also relied on farming to produce food because of the fertile land in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys.[4] Because of this reliance on farming, these tribes did not migrate like the more northern Eastern Woodlands tribes and instead stayed in one place, which resulted in them developing new social and political structures.[5]
The Eastern Woodlands tribes located further north (Algonquian-speaking people) relied heavily on hunting to acquire food.[4] These tribes did not plant many crops, however, some tribes, such as the Ojibwe, grew wild rice and relied on it as one of their major food sources.[2] The type of animals these tribes hunted depended on the geographic location of the tribe.[5] For example, the tribes located close to the coast hunted seals, porpoises, and whales, while the more inland tribes hunted deer, moose, and caribou.[2][6] The meat was then either cooked to be eaten immediately or it was smoke-dried which preserved the meat for later consumption.[6]
