Answer 1

The correct answers are For centuries, people in the highlands have been using llamas to help transport goods, to provide wool for warmth, and for meat in the high altitudes and Since before the Spaniards arrived, llamas helped people survive the climate on the highlands in Bolivia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Llamas are a camelid that is now native to the Andean region of South America. They are used to help transport goods, although they are generally not strong enough or big enough to carry the weight of adult people for long distances like a horse, so they are thus used as pack animals. They are used as meat in some instances, although alpaca meat is preferred. Traditionally llama and alpaca meat is dried into a j.erky-like substance called charqui which keeps much longer through the harsh seasonal climates of the Andes than fresh meat. Llama wool is also coarser than the prized alpaca wool, so llamas were most valued as pack animals that were easy to keep close to installations and families. They are also relatively easy to feed on the rugged Andean terrain as they can digest hard and fibrous plant foods like wild grasses and lichens that grow on rocks in the Andes.
