Question

unit 10 exam
pioneering
pioneers, people who settled the western territory of the united states, had to make careful plans before beginning their journey. they had to pack enough food and water, clothing, and even supplies for their livestock.
pioneers often traveled in groups, known as caravans, so they could help each other if anything went wrong. at night these caravans circled the wagons in order to protect against animals and native americans. weather was also a big danger for pioneers because they could get dehydrated in the heat, or freeze in the cold.
what was something pioneers had to make sure to pack before their journey west?
food
furniture
games for the children

Explanation:

The text in the left - hand box mentions that pioneers had to pick enough food. Furniture would be too bulky and not a priority for a long - distance journey where space was limited. Games for children, while important for morale, were not as essential as food for survival during the journey. Food is a basic necessity for survival during a long and arduous journey.

Answer:

food
