○ the nomadic lifestyle of native americans changed when the bison herds were destroyed.
○ the nomadic lifestyle of native americans changed when the bison herds thrived.

Explanation:

First Question

Plains Indians relied on bison for survival, and horses improved their ability to herd and hunt bison. Guns were less impactful for herding, cattle were not used for herding bison, and dynamite is unrelated to their traditional hunting.

The nomadic lifestyle of Plains Native Americans was based on following bison herds. When bison herds were destroyed (due to overhunting by settlers, etc.), their way of life collapsed. Forced eastward movement was not the main cause, settlers did not provide new lands for them to remain nomadic, and thriving bison would support, not end, nomadism.

Answer:

B. Horses
