Question

question 2 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. learning to domesticate plants and animals changed the way humans lived.
b. learning to domesticate plants and animals had little impact on human societies.
c. humans continued to hunt and gather food even after they developed complex societies.
d. humans decided to move around more after they learned how to domesticate plants and animals.

Explanation:

To determine the correct conclusion, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The cause (domesticating plants/animals) led to the effect (settled lives, complex societies), so this shows a change in how humans lived, matching the cause - effect.
• Option B: The effect shows a significant impact (complex societies), so this is incorrect.
• Option C: The diagram focuses on domestication and its effect on society, not on hunting/gathering after complex societies, so this is irrelevant.
• Option D: The effect is more settled lives, not moving around more, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

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