Question

just as you might learn important skills from a youtube or tiktok tutorial, prehistoric humans likely relied on detailed cave drawings to build the knowledge they needed to thrive in harsh conditions.
according to the text, how might cave drawings have contributed to the survival of early human communities?
choose 1 answer:
a by acting as decorative elements that enhanced the visual appeal of caves
b by serving as a map to show hunters where they could likely find prey
c by educating people about the best ways to catch and hunt prey for food
d by acting as a historical record of early human achievements and failures

Explanation:

The text states cave drawings helped prehistoric humans build necessary knowledge to thrive in harsh conditions, similar to modern skill tutorials. Option C aligns with this by describing how drawings taught hunting/catching prey, a critical survival skill. Option A is incorrect as decoration does not aid survival. Option B is too specific (maps) not mentioned, while Option D focuses on records of achievements/failures rather than building survival knowledge.

Answer:

C. by educating people about the best ways to catch and hunt prey for food
