Answer

defensive structures, such as palisades, for villages
B
a permanent place to hold ceremonies and rituals
C
a strict system of social classes where elites ruled over commoners
D
a temporary campfire that people put out before they moved on
E
tents that were easy for people to set up when they moved to a new place
Explanation
Mississippian communities were generally settled villages, often protected by defensive structures such as palisades. They built permanent ceremonial centers, including mounds and temples, and had ranked societies in which elites held power over commoners. Temporary campfires and portable tents describe a nomadic lifestyle, not typical Mississippian culture.
