Revolutions in Agriculture

Question 1 • GA-GSE World Geography B

Which of the following statements about agriculture is false?

Answer
A
Hybridized seeds result when scientists artificially cross-pollinate plants.
B
The four-crop rotation method increased food production.
C
European settlers introduced corn and potatoes to North America.
D
Hybrid seed strains provide greater yields in less time.

Explanation

European settlers did not introduce corn and potatoes to North America. Indigenous peoples domesticated these crops there long before European settlement; Europeans later brought them to other parts of the world. The other statements are accurate: hybrid seeds are produced by controlled cross-pollination, and both hybrid crops and four-crop rotation helped increase agricultural yields.
