The natives decided they would leave if the Aleuts returned. They would go to___________

Correct Answer
A. Santa CatalinaExplanation
The correct answer is Santa Catalina because the natives made a decision to leave if the Aleuts returned. Santa Catalina, an island off the coast of California, would be a logical destination for them to go to as it would provide them with a safe distance from the Aleuts. Russia and Europe are unlikely options as they are far away and would require long and difficult journeys.

A. To make weaponsExplanation

This suggests that there were strict societal norms or cultural beliefs that prohibited women from engaging in activities related to warfare or combat. This could be due to traditional gender roles or the belief that weapon-making was a male-dominated skill. By forbidding women from making weapons, the laws of Ghalas-at likely aimed to uphold and reinforce gender-specific roles and responsibilities within the society.Rate this question:
