Question

Which statement provides the BEST evidence to support the conclusion that the Archaic Indians were less advanced than the Mississippians?
a.The Woodland Indians were the first to develop the bow-and-arrow.
b.The Paleo Indians lived a nomadic lifestyle and moved from place-to-place in search of food.
c.The Archaic Indians lived in shallow, oval-pit houses and larger rectangular wattle-and-daub dwellings.
d.The culture of the Mississippian Indians extended throughout the present-day Southeastern United States.

Answer 1

Although it is difficult to establish whether or not any of these statements necessarily prove decisively that the Archaic Indians were less advanced than the Mississippians, the answer is most likely C - The Archaic Indians lived in shallow, oval-pit houses and larger rectangular wattle-and-daub dwellings. The first two statements make no reference to either the Archaic or Missipian Indians, and the last answer proves the Missipian Indians were advanced, but does not fit the question.

Answer 2

I literally just took the test and got this question wrong, the answer is B.
