Question

like the ancestral pueblo, another group called the hohokam found creative ways to grow crops in the dry southwestern environment. the hohokam brought water to their crops by building one of the largest canal networks in the world. these canals were up to 45 feet wide, which means that whole communities must have cooperated to build them. altogether, the hohokam created 500 miles of canals!
what do the canals show about hohokam society? select two.

• hunting was their most important source of food.
• they worked together on large projects.
• agriculture was important to them.
• they moved from place to place each year.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "Hunting was their most important source of food": The text focuses on crop - growing and canal - building for agriculture, not hunting. So this is incorrect.
• "They worked together on large projects": The text says "whole communities must have cooperated to build them" (the canals), so this is correct.
• "Agriculture was important to them": They built large canal networks to bring water to crops, showing agriculture's importance. This is correct.
• "They moved from place to place each year": Building large - scale canal networks implies a settled lifestyle, not a nomadic one. So this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. They worked together on large projects, C. Agriculture was important to them
