Question

question 1 of 10
which statement is the most likely conclusion you can draw from the cause-and-effect relationship shown in the diagram?

cause
humans learn to domesticate plants and animals.

effect
humans live more settled lives and develop complex societies.

a. humans decided to move around more after they learned how to domesticate plants and animals.

b. learning to domesticate plants and animals changed the way humans lived.

c. learning to domesticate plants and animals had little impact on human societies.

d. humans continued to hunt and gather food even after they developed complex societies.

Explanation:

• Option A: The effect shows humans live more settled lives, so moving around more is incorrect.
• Option B: The cause (domesticating plants/animals) led to the effect (settled lives, complex societies), meaning it changed human life, which matches.
• Option C: The effect shows a significant impact (complex societies), so "little impact" is wrong.
• Option D: The diagram focuses on domestication's effect on settlement/society, not hunting/gathering continuation, so this is irrelevant.

Answer:

B. Learning to domesticate plants and animals changed the way humans lived.
