Question

a rock drawing in spain from about 7000 b.c. shows a man who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive, and is reaching in to grab the honey. indeed, a lucky wanderer in just about any part of europe, africa, or asia that wasnt covered with ice could stumble on a hive and - at the risk of some stings - come away with a treat. (people in the americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.) then someone figured out that you didnt have to be lucky. you could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. you could “keep” bees - you didnt have to find them. - sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos which excerpt from the passage provides evidence of a problem - and - solution structure? o a rock drawing in spain... shows a man... holding a hive. o a lucky wanderer... could stumble on a hive. o people in the americas had no bees. o you could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home.

Explanation:

A problem - and - solution structure presents a problem and then a way to solve it. The idea of having to be lucky to find a hive (problem) and then the solution of hollowing out a log to "keep" bees is shown in the excerpt "You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home."

Answer:

D. "You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home."
