Which statement is true about the Nacotchtanke Tribe according to the material?

• A. It had two subgroups: Nacostans and Anacostans
• B. It lived along the Potomac River
• C. It was located in the Mississippi region
• D. It had no subgroups

Answer: (A)

The question tests your understanding of how the Nacotchtanke were organized and where they lived. The material identifies a clear internal division within the tribe: two subgroups, the Nacostans and the Anacostans. This specific detail about their social structure is what makes that statement true. The other options conflict with the source: the idea of no subgroups contradicts the described division, and placing them in the Mississippi region misplaces their actual location in the Potomac/Anacostia area near what is now Washington, D.C. The emphasis on the two subgroups is the most accurate detail provided.
