question
according to the text, what was the primary way most vikings supported their families?
○ a. through serving as warriors in the military
○ b. through raiding and pillaging
○ c. through farming and raising livestock
○ d. through extensive trading with nearby villages

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine how Viking farms contributed to self - sufficiency, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Growing crops and raising livestock is a direct way farms provide food to sustain the population, which supports self - sufficiency.
• Option b: If farms depended almost exclusively on ships and fishing, the farms themselves wouldn't be the main contributor to self - sufficiency.
• Option c: Using silver coins for trade implies dependence on external trade, not self - sufficiency from farms.
• Option d: Trade routes created by local leaders are not related to the contribution of farms to self - sufficiency.

To find the primary way most Vikings supported their families, we evaluate the options:

• Option a: Serving as warriors in the military was not the primary way for most Vikings to support families.
• Option b: Raiding and pillaging was not the main means of supporting families for most Vikings.
• Option c: Farming and raising livestock was a fundamental and primary way for most Vikings to produce food and resources for their families.
• Option d: Extensive trading with nearby villages was not the primary support method for most Vikings.

Answer:

a. Farmers grew crops and raised livestock to sustain the population
