For number one, Id say C. A would be wrong because women did not hunt, they were the cooks and cleaners. B wouldnt be right because they were in Southwest Asia area, and when I did this lesson my teacher said nothing about them going to Europe.

For number two I would say the answer is C aswell. Because they eventually learned how to grow crops.

For number three I would answer B or D but im not sure.

Number four B farming provided a fairly reliable food supply. I say this because C im pretty sure not everyone was perfect at farming. And D I think farming took just as much work to farm. And A just wouldnt be right.

Number five, im pretty sure its dog, its said that it started as tamed wolves.

Number seven Id say the answer is D. Hunter gathers had to move around to different destinations in order to find animals, so this meant they didnt live in permanant homes.

Number nine I think is C use of tools. The reason I say C is because farming has nothing to do with building a village, thats working for food. use of fire wouldnt be senseable for an answer either because you use fire to cook food with or for warmth. and d wouldnt be correct because that also has to do with filling empty stomaches...

For number ten, Id say nomadic because that is moving around and not staying in one permanant area.

For number twelve I think the answer is C hunter gathers.

Srry these are the only answers I could answer but I hope this helps you...
