Which best explains the successful development of agriculture in the desert climate of the American Southwest by American Indian cultures such as the Pima, Hopi, and Hohokam?
a) People of the Southwest were instructed in cultivating drought-tolerant crops by traders from civilizations in present-day Mexico.
b) People of the Southwest developed systems of canals to divert water from nearby rivers to irrigate their crops.
c) People of the Southwest developed a seasonal calendar that allowed them to predict the best times of year to plant and harvest.
d) People of the Southwest primarily cultivated drought-resistant grasses for animal feed and subsisted on meat from livestock.
Answer: b) People of the Southwest developed systems of canals to divert water from nearby rivers to irrigate their crops.
Explanation:
The Hopi were part of the western Pueblo tribes, while the Hohokam were the ancestors of the Pima and Tohono O’odham, and were located in the western and southern limits.
Their developments in agriculture required access to rivers, smaller streams, and seasonal waterways, so they built stone canals to irrigate their fields.
All three men had survived Sulla's proscriptions. Crassus and Pompey had supported the dictator, the one as, in Lily Ross Taylor's words, the arch-Sullan profiteer, and the other, as a general. Something else Crassus and Pompey had in common was wealth, an advantage Julius Caesar and his family, which could trace its ancestry back to the beginnings of Rome, didn't have. Earlier, Julius Caesar's aunt had married Marius, the urban plebeians' late hero, in an alliance that conferred aristocratic connections on Marius and access to money for Caesar's family. Pompey needed help getting land for his veterans and resurrecting his political favor. Pompey was linked to Caesar by marriage to Caesar's daughter. She died, in 54, in childbirth, after which Caesar and Pompey fell out. Motivated by desire for power and influence, Crassus may also have enjoyed watching Pompey's predictable fall from grace as the Optimates, who had supported him, began to fade away. Crassus was willing to back Caesar's debts when he set out for his province, Spain, in 61. Exactly when the first triumvirate started is debated, but it was to help all three that the triumvirate was formed right around the year 60 B.C., the year Caesar was elected to the consulship.
