Strong metal tools allowed Bronze Age farmers to grow surplus crops and trade them with neighbors for goods such as tools. The farmers needed a method for recording their exchanges and keeping track of how much surplus they had left. Which of these conclusions do these two events most strongly support? A. Writing was necessary for the invention of advanced tools. B. Writing led to an increase in agricultural output. C. Writing gave rise to the trade of items. D. Writing was an indirect result of the rise of technology.

The Industrial Revolution began with the invention of the steam engine. At about the same time, human population began increasing exponentially. Explain how these two events are linked to the idea that humans are able to change the carrying capacity of their environment. a. The invention of the steam engine enabled people to use machines to carry out farming activities. The amount of available resources needed to sustain human life increased with the invention of machines. This increase in resources spurred exponential population growth. b. The invention of the steam engine enabled people to develop pest-resistant crop varieties. The amount of available resources needed to sustain human life increased with the invention of machines. This increase in resources spurred exponential population growth. c. The amount of available resources needed to sustain human life decreased with the invention of machines, but the carrying capacity increased. This increase in carrying capacity spurred exponential population growth. d. The invention of the steam engine enables the environment to be changed according to the needs of the people. This regulation of environmental conditions spurred exponential population growth.
