Answer 1

Answer:

answer is A. A surplus in farming led to less hunting.

Answer 2

A and C

• During the last glacial events of the late Pleistocene epoch, Paleo-Indians, Paleoindians, or Paleo-Americans were the first peoples to enter and later settle the Americas.
• The prefix "paleo-" is derived from the Greek adverb palaios (), which denotes age or antiquity. In contrast to "Paleolithic," the name "Paleo-Indians" refers specifically to the lithic era in the Western Hemisphere.
• Plant ecosystems and animal populations changed as a result of climate changes during the late ice age.
• As preferred resources were depleted and new supplies were sought, groups travelled from place to place. During the spring and summer, small bands engaged in hunting and gathering.
• For the fall and winter, they dispersed into smaller direct family groups. Every 3 to 6 days, family groupings would relocate, sometimes going up to 360 km (220 mi) annually.

Hence, A surplus in farming led to less hunting and C. The climate allowed grasslands and forests to develop led to large populations of wildlife in Oklahoma during the time of the Paleo-Indians.
