baggy pants and leggings
derby hats
chaps and Levi's
bolas
a) 1 and 2
b) 2 and 3
c) 3 and 4
d) 1 and 4

Answer 1

Gauchos traditionally wear baggy pants known as bombachas and use bolas as a weapon to catch animals, thus the correct option referring to their attire and tools is (d) baggy pants and bolas.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gauchos are skilled horsemen and are often considered the cowboys of the South American Pampas, mainly found in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and parts of Brazil and Chile. The traditional attire of a gaucho typically includes baggy pants known as bombachas, which are tucked into the boots, and a wide-brimmed hat to protect from the sun.

Option (d) "1 and 4" indicates that gauchos wear baggy pants and bolas. Bolas are a throwing weapon made up of weighted cords and were traditionally used by gauchos to catch animals by entangling their legs.

Therefore, the correct answer is (d) 1 and 4: baggy pants and bolas are the appropriate parts of a gaucho's traditional costume.
