Question 10 • PBCSD_Grade_Forgiveness_2109310_World History_S2_2015

What is the most likely reason the Agricultural Revolution caused a population increase?

Answer
A
Wealthy landowners could afford to have many children.
B
More and better food allowed people to be healthy and well fed.
C
Tenant farmers were able to settle down and have families.
D
Many people moved to cities in search of jobs.

Explanation

The Agricultural Revolution increased the amount and reliability of food production. With more and better food, fewer people faced hunger and malnutrition, so more survived and the population grew. This makes “More and better food allowed people to be healthy and well fed” the best answer; moving to cities for jobs does not by itself explain population growth.
