Explanation:

First Question:

To determine the climate zone with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, we analyze each option:

• Option a (Mediterranean Climate): Matches the described climate pattern (hot, dry summers; mild, wet winters).
• Option b (Arctic Climate): Is cold and icy, not matching the description.
• Option c (Continental Climate): Has extreme seasonal temperature differences, not the described pattern.
• Option d (Tropical Climate): Is warm and humid year - round, not matching.

To find how the Vikings adapted to the Arctic climate, we analyze each option:

• Option a (Year - round agriculture): The Arctic climate is too harsh for year - round agriculture.
• Option b (Relying solely on local resources): Vikings engaged in trade and exploration, so they didn't rely solely on local resources.
• Option c (Using trade and exploration to access resources): Vikings traded and explored to get resources they couldn't find locally in the Arctic, which was an adaptation.
• Option d (Building permanent cities): Vikings were more nomadic and focused on exploration/trade, not building permanent cities in the Arctic.

Answer:

a. Mediterranean Climate
