question 6 of 20
in a small city that developed along yellow river following the neolithic revolution, the surplus of food allowed people to take on new jobs. some jobs were more prestigious than others. which of the following would most likely be true of that city?
a. more people chose to become farmers to increase the food supply.
b. the type of work that a person did began to determine his or her place in society.
c. fewer people decided to do the less prestigious jobs.
d. farming was the most prestigious profession in the settlement.

Explanation:

With the emergence of job - specialization due to food surplus after the Neolithic Revolution, social stratification began to form. The type of work a person did often determined their social status. Option A is incorrect as the food surplus already existed. Option C is not necessarily true as less prestigious jobs still needed to be done. Option D is unlikely since food surplus allowed for other non - farming jobs, and farming was not the most prestigious.

Answer:

B. The type of work that a person did began to determine his or her place in society.
