Question

____ was important because it allowed people to harness power in order to plant food and to use them as food. a wind power b solar power c hydroelectricity d animal domestication due to the increased food supply, people in societies were ____. a able to move to find food. b healthier and lived longer. c more likely to contract disease. d less likely to live in one place.

Explanation:

• For the first question: Animal domestication allowed people to harness power (e.g., using animals for plowing) to plant food and also use animals as food. Wind power, solar power, and hydroelectricity are more related to energy generation rather than directly to planting food and using animals as food in the traditional sense.
• For the second question: An increased food supply generally leads to better nutrition. Better nutrition results in people being healthier and having a longer lifespan. If there is a stable food supply (due to things like animal domestication and agriculture which are related to the first question), people are less likely to move around to find food (so A is wrong), less likely to have diseases related to malnutrition (so C is wrong), and more likely to live in one place (so D is wrong).

Answer:

1. D. Animal domestication
2. B. healthier and lived longer.
