multiple choice listen how did the neolithic revolution lead to the rise of cities? a the agriculture that developed in the neolithic revolution could feed more people than hunting and gathering could, so populations grew. b the herding techniques that developed in the neolithic revolution required more labor than hunting and gathering did, so people formed bigger groups. c new governments that emerged in the neolithic revolution ordered people to move to cities. d the neolithic revolution led to job opportunities in cities, so people moved to cities to find work.

Explanation:

The Neolithic Revolution saw the development of agriculture. Agricultural surpluses could support larger populations compared to hunting - and - gathering. This population growth was a key factor in the rise of cities. Option A correctly states that the agriculture developed in the Neolithic Revolution could feed more people, leading to population growth and the rise of cities. Options B, C, and D are not the main reasons. Herding was not the main driver for city - rise (B), there is no evidence of new governments ordering people to move (C), and job opportunities in cities were not a direct result of the Neolithic Revolution in the way described (D).

A. The agriculture that developed in the Neolithic Revolution could feed more people than hunting and gathering could, so populations grew.
