Question

1. how did the development of agriculture during neolithic times impact those living in southwest asia?

options:
it led to the establishment of permanent settlements.
it led to a return to a primarily nomadic lifestyle.
it led to increased dependence on the exportation of oil.
it led to the rise of hunting as an important occupation.
clear all

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Agriculture in the Neolithic allowed people to grow food, so they didn't need to move (nomadic) and could settle permanently.
• Option 2: Agriculture reduces nomadic life (since you stay to farm), so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Oil exportation is modern, not Neolithic, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: Agriculture replaced hunting as a main food source, so hunting didn't rise.

Answer:

A. It led to the establishment of permanent settlements.
