Question 2 • World History

Answer
A
wheat and barley
B
potatoes and tomatoes
C
soybeans and corn
D
dates and figs

Explanation

Wheat and barley were among the earliest crops people domesticated during the Agricultural Revolution, beginning thousands of years ago in the Fertile Crescent. Domestication involved selecting and growing plants with useful traits, such as larger grains and seeds that stayed on the plant for easier harvesting. Potatoes, tomatoes, soybeans, and corn were domesticated in other regions and were not the first crops grown in this early farming period.
