• A. The Anasazi are also called Basketmakers.
• B. The Sioux are also called Basketmakers.
• C. The Mohawk are also called Basketmakers.
• D. The Iroquois are also called Basketmakers.

Answer: (A)

Basketmakers is a nickname for the Anasazi because they were renowned for their early, skillful basket weaving in the southwestern United States. The Anasazi, who lived in the Four Corners region, used plants and fibers to make sturdy baskets, a distinctive craft that led people to call them Basketmakers. That reputation is why this name fits them best. The Sioux, Mohawk, and Iroquois are associated with other cultural traits and regions (Great Plains and Northeast woodlands), so they aren’t commonly known by this nickname.
