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 from 43 to 50
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 subsistence strategy, and has been practiced for at least two million years It was, indeed, the only way to
obtain until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10,000 years
ago
Because hunter- gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in environments such as deserts, forests or arctic wasteland In higher latitudes, shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater independence on hunting, and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing 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
possibilities for the development of subsistence societies Contemporary hunter-gathers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from observation of modern hunter- gathers in both Africa and Alaska that 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 is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice a seasonal migration on pattern evolving for most hunter gathers, along with a restricted division of labor

C. By studying the prehistoric environment
D. By practicing hunting and gathering
Question 50 Which of the following is not mentioned in the above passage?
A More and more people in the modern time live on the food they gather in the natural environment
around their homes
