Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding
their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at
least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild
animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they
have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands. In higher latitudes, the shorter growing
seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing
along the coasts and waterways. The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a
greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited
possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the observation of modern
hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile. While the entire
community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp. When the food
in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns
evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar
