so what is the answer, c is wrong
I think B is the right answer
its not C
The most accurate option that reflects the development of agriculture in early African civilizations is: "The kingdom of Ghana exchanged surplus crops and gold for textiles and salt brought by roving traders."
To arrive at this answer, let's analyze each option one by one:
1. "The walls of the Jabrin Castle were erected in Oman to protect valuable crops." - This option does not reflect the development of agriculture in early African civilizations. It mentions the construction of a castle in Oman to protect crops, which is not related to African civilizations.
2. "The kingdom of Ghana exchanged surplus crops and gold for textiles and salt brought by roving traders." - This option accurately reflects the development of agriculture in early African civilizations. The kingdom of Ghana, which existed from the 6th to the 13th century, was known for its agricultural production. They had surplus crops, particularly gold, which they traded with other regions for textiles and salt.
3. "The Hottentots of South Africa were known for cultivating yams and bananas." - The term "Hottentots" is an outdated and derogatory term for an indigenous Khoikhoi group in South Africa. While it is possible that they cultivated yams and bananas, there is limited information available in historical records to confirm this as a significant part of their agricultural practices.
4. "The Bushmen in southern parts of Africa were the first civilization to cultivate coffee and trade for food." - This option is not accurate. The Bushmen, also known as San people, traditionally practiced hunter-gathering rather than agriculture. There is no evidence to suggest that they were the first civilization to cultivate coffee or engage in trade for food.
Therefore, the most accurate option is indeed: "The kingdom of Ghana exchanged surplus crops and gold for textiles and salt brought by roving traders."
You're welcome.
I think you're right -- but the word Hottentot is considered insulting and not used any longer.
