which of the following best explains why bronze age technology is
considered superior to neolithic technology?

a. bronze age metals were easier to locate than the stone used for

c. bronze age metals could be used only for tools but were much
easier to work with.

d. bronze age metals could be used in wider applications and were
more durable than stone.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Stones for Neolithic tools (like flint) are more commonly found than metals for Bronze Age, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Bronze metals are more durable than stone, not less durable, so B is wrong.
• Option C: Bronze metals were used for more than just tools (e.g., weapons, art), so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Bronze (an alloy) is more durable than stone and can be used in various applications (tools, weapons, decorative items), making Bronze Age technology superior.

Answer:

D. Bronze Age metals could be used in wider applications and were more durable than stone.
