imagine a family of farmers in the neolithic age. they are multi-generational family living together on a large farm they have bees together on a large farm. they have beans chickens and other animals and crops that keep them fed. they have several shelters that are sturdy. Last year however floods came and took many of their large animals and rained out their crops. some of the family died from starvation. They are replanting what cost and benefit of farming is shown in this situation a. farming leaves people vulnerable to attack but needs less land than hunting and gathering. b. successful harvest not guaranteed due to weather, but more people can cooperate to build shelters c. herding animals and planting crops takes a lot of energy, but farming gave new sources of material for clothing d. nomads might come to steal food or animals, but food surpluses lead to specialization of workers.
b. successful harvest not guaranteed due to weather, but more people can cooperate to build shelters
c. herding animals and planting crops takes a lot of energy, but farming gave new sources of material for clothing
d. nomads might come to steal food or animals, but food surpluses lead to specialization of workers.
what do i pick
Based on the given situation, the most relevant cost and benefit of farming shown is:
b. successful harvest not guaranteed due to weather, but more people can cooperate to build shelters. This is evident from the floods that destroyed their crops, but the family's ability to work together and build sturdy shelters is a benefit of their farming lifestyle.
However, both c and d are also applicable in this scenario:
c. herding animals and planting crops takes a lot of energy, but farming gave new sources of material for clothing. This is shown by the family's ability to raise animals for material and clothing despite the challenges they faced.
d. nomads might come to steal food or animals, but food surpluses lead to specialization of workers. Although this isn't specifically mentioned in the scenario, the potential threat of nomads stealing their resources highlights the vulnerability of farming communities and the importance of creating food surpluses for trade and specialization of labor.
Ultimately, you can choose any of these options based on what you think is the most significant cost and benefit in the given situation.
