Answer 1

Two of the common techniques used in creating baskets are coiling and plaiting. Basketry is a type of art developed by different civilizations around the world with the aim of developing different objects, such as baskets, mats and furniture.

This artwork is made with flexible materials such as:

• Pine
• Straw
• Leather
• Gram
• Animal hair

Historically, it is difficult to accurately report the age of this art, as the materials used in basketwork are natural and undergo a rapid process of deterioration.

Therefore, indigenous peoples in the Americas developed basketwork works for the collection, storage and preparation of food, through techniques of rolling and interweaving the fibers to make the baskets.

The correct alternative is the letter A.
