● Which of the following best explains the significance of a similarity
among locations where olives, figs, grapes and lemons are grown?
Answer: Intensive agriculture is practiced in a Mediterranean climate.
● Which of the following best explains the significance of similarities
between the farming practices for apple orchards and grape vineyards?
Answer: Both farming practices require considerable labor input because
the fruit is picked by hand, making it a product of intensive agriculture.
● Agricultural settlement patterns are partly determined by the survey
system used to organize landownership. Which of the following best
describes the survey methods used to delineate agricultural land and the
associated settlement patterns shown in the two images? Answer: The
first image shows a long-lot survey method with a clustered settlement
pattern, and the second image shows a metes-and-bounds survey method
with a linear settlement pattern.
● Which of the following best describes the settlement patterns shown in
the images? Answer: The long-lot system results in population clustered
along a waterway, whereas the metes-and-bounds system results in a
random, dispersed population pattern.
, ● Which of the following best describes the survey system used in both
locations shown? Answer: Township and range: unit-block field patterns
with dispersed farmsteads and occasional villages
● Which of the following correctly explains the relationship between
wheat and its early hearth of domestication? Answer: Wheat was first
domesticated in Mesopotamia because of a favorable climate and a great
diversity of wild grains that led to crossbreeding of seeds.
● Which of the following scenarios best explains the Columbian
Exchange? Answer: Domesticated animals such as cattle, horses, pigs,
and chickens were introduced to the Americas by European colonizers.
Prior to this, very few animals had been domesticated in the Americas.
● Which of the following explains the prevalence of banana plantations
in Central America? Answer: Banana plants were brought to Central
America from Southeast Asia to be grown closer to markets in the
United States and Canada.
● The images shown illustrate the differences in scale of production for
two methods of producing thread. Which of the following best describes
advances in the production of textiles during the Second Agricultural
Revolution and the Industrial Revolution? Answer: The conversion from
manual thread spinning to an industrial processing approach led to
increased demand for raw cotton in the agricultural sector.
