Answer 1

B) As far as I know maize is not used to make building material or clothing

It does provide lots of B vitamins so it does provide good (but not complete) nutrition
It grows well in the many different climates here in the United States
It can be dried and stored for use throughout the year by putting it in silos and grain bins.

Answer 2

• Maize became a staple food for most of the Mesoamerican civilizations.
• Maize grew well in South and Central America.
• Maize was easy to store, could be eaten in several ways throughout the year.
• There were several varieties of maize grown in these civilizations.
• After the arrival of Europeans, maize was introduced in Europe.
