Explanation
The statement is true because the people living in the Coastal Plains region utilized the resources available in that area to fulfill their needs. Coastal regions typically have access to marine resources such as fish and shellfish, as well as fertile land for agriculture. The people would have relied on these resources for food, trade, and other necessities. Therefore, it can be inferred that the people of the Coastal Plains region used the resources of that region to meet their needs.

The Caddos were farmers and grew multiple crops for food, including maize, pumpkins, corn, beans, and sunflowers.

Explanation
The correct answer is Piney Woods because the Caddos were a Native American tribe that inhabited the region along the Red River, which is located in the Piney Woods area. The Piney Woods is a forested region in the southeastern United States, characterized by dense pine forests and rolling hills. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that the Caddos lived in this specific area.

The Caddos were not nomads. Nomads are people who move from place to place with no permanent settlement, but the Caddos were a sedentary tribe. They lived in permanent villages and practiced agriculture, growing crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They had a stable lifestyle and did not regularly move their settlements. Therefore, the statement "The Caddos were nomads" is false.

They were commonly used by Native American tribes, including the Karankawas, for transportation and fishing purposes. The term "dugout" refers to the process of digging out the interior of the log to create a hollowed-out space that can be used as a boat. These boats were durable and able to navigate through various water bodies, making them an essential part of the Karankawas' way of life.

Therefore, it is true that the Coahuiltecans ate almost anything they could hunt or gather.
