Explanation:

• Question 7: Historical archaeology focuses on historical periods with written records. The Neolithic Stone Age (D) predates extensive written records compared to the other options which are more within historical - record periods.
• Question 8: A survey in archaeology typically involves mapping (A), surface collection (B), pedestrian survey (C), and pre - excavation site assessment (D). Option B is about collecting and evaluating finds which is more of an analysis step rather than a core survey data - collection method.
• Question 9: Intentionalism posits that historical change is mainly due to important figures' actions. Structuralism focuses on underlying structures, functionalism on functions in a system, and biographicalism is not a standard major theory in this context.
• Question 10: Historiography is the study of how historical views change over time. Hagiography is about saints' lives, history is the general study of the past, and historiology is not the standard term for this concept.
• Question 11: The freezing point of water (A) is a physical property and not a factor that affects historical change. Politics (C), technology (B), economics (D), and religious traditions (E) are all known to influence historical change.
• Question 12: Religion (C) is often a contributing factor to historical change (e.g., Crusades, Reformation). The other statements (A, B, D) about historical change are correct.
• Question 13: The Paleolithic Age is also called the Old Stone Age (C). The Revolutionary Stone Age is not a standard term, the Middle Stone Age is Mesolithic, and the New Stone Age is Neolithic.
• Question 14: The Paleolithic Age gives the first evidence of humans making and using tools (B). While weapons (E) are a type of tool, the more general and first - evidenced category is tools. Homes (A), kitchenware (C), and clothing (D) came later in human development compared to tool - use in the Paleolithic.
