Neolithic Agriculture and Settlement

Question 5 • OCPS - 2109010 - M/J WORLD HISTORY_SEM 1 CR_PY - vers.2

Which statement best describes how settlement societies differed from hunter-gatherer societies during the agricultural revolution?

Answer
A
Settlement societies were organized into groups of people who all worked together.
B
Settlement societies had social classes of people with similar incomes, customs, and training.
C
Settlement societies were divided into groups according to the value of the crops they raised.
D
Settlement societies were made up of people with similar interests, friends, and lifestyles.

Explanation

Agriculture produced food surpluses, allowing people to take on different jobs and accumulate different levels of wealth. As a result, settled societies often developed social classes whose members had similar wealth, customs, and training. Hunter-gatherer societies were generally more egalitarian, so “social classes” best describes the difference.
