Answer 1

True. Before the Columbian Exchange, there were no horses on the North American plains, no tomatoes in Italy, and no potatoes in Ireland.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Before the Columbian Exchange, there were no horses on the North American plains, no tomatoes in Italy, and no potatoes in Ireland.

The Columbian Exchange refers to the transfer of plants, animals, and diseases between the Old World (Europe, Africa, and Asia) and the New World (the Americas) after Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492.

During the Columbian Exchange, European colonists brought horses to the Americas, which had a significant impact on Native American cultures, especially in North America where tribes like the Lakota adopted a way of life based on hunting bison with horses.
