The question is basically asking: "True or false: Pre-Columbian art and culture was produced in the Americas before the arrival of Christopher Columbus".

This statement is true. As can be seen from the name of this art movement / art type, it's called "Pre-Columbian". "Pre" means before, so essentially, the name says that the art and culture is "before Columbus", making the statement correct.

He [Mr. Summers] made a note on the list he was holding. Then he asked, “Watson boy drawing this
Andru [333]

Answer:

I think the best answer would be he died of an unknown illness because Mr. Summers is referring to a man that is Watson. Normally people refer "head" of the family as the man. And since his mother is assumed she's alone, she has a man to do the work. I don't think I explained this properly but I hope it helps! :)
