Sample question
Which explanation appropriately considers factors in the development of early agricultural food systems?
  • Only those regions had people who were intelligent enough to invent farming
  • Local growing conditions, suitable food species and human management practices interacted, with different histories in different regions
  • Farming could only begin in regions already connected by long-distance trade routes
  • Hunter-gatherer diets in those regions contained no edible wild plants, so people were forced to farm
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

B is correct: agriculture developed through interactions between environments, species and human practices. A makes an unsupported claim about regional intelligence; C makes long-distance trade a necessary prerequisite; D wrongly denies the wild plant foods used by foragers. Exchange over long distances predates farming, so it must not be dismissed as something invented only afterwards.
