Practicing Success
Read the passage and answer the question: The presence of grain and representations of bulls suggest that agriculture was practiced in ancient times. However, the specific methods used are unknown. It is possible that seeds were broadcasted on ploughed lands or that a plow pulled by a bull was used. Further research is needed to shed more light on this topic. |

Bull Lion Hippo Horse |
Bull |
The correct answer is Option 1 - Bull The figure shows a terracotta bull. While the prevalence of agriculture is indicated by finds of grain, it is more difficult to reconstruct actual agricultural practices. Were seeds broadcast (scattered) on ploughed lands? Representations on seals and terracotta sculpture indicate that the bull was known, and archaeologists extrapolate from this that oxen were used for ploughing. |
