Recent research has reinvigorated the debate over the effectiveness of Neolithic tools compared to those from the Paleolithic era. Some archaeologists argue that Neolithic tools were not necessarily superior in design or function to Paleolithic ones, but were more a reflection of the changing societal needs and resources available. They point out that while Neolithic tools show more variety, this does not directly translate to increased efficiency or effectiveness.Text 2A study conducted by archaeologist Emily Zhang and her team analyzed wear patterns on tools from both the Neolithic and Paleolithic periods. Through microscopic examination and replication experiments, they found that Neolithic tools, while varied, often offered specific advantages in agriculture and settlement construction, tasks that became prevalent in the Neolithic age.8Mark for ReviewABCBased on the texts, how would Zhang’s team (Text 2) most likely respond to the argument in the underlined portion of Text 1?ABy agreeing that Neolithic tools were simply responses to societal changes without offering technological advancementsBBy asserting that the Neolithic tools’ variety and specialization for agricultural and construction tasks demonstrate their superiority over Paleolithic toolsCBy disputing the relevance of societal needs in the evolution of tool design, focusing instead on the inherent quality of the materials usedDBy arguing that while Neolithic tools were adapted to new needs, this does not negate their technological advancements and increased efficiency

Human technology developed from the first stone tools about two and a half million years ago. In the beginning, the rate of development was slow. Hundreds of thousands of years passed without much change. Today, new technologies are reported daily on television and in newspapers. Q. This paragraph best supports the statement that Question 4Answera.stone tools were not really technology. b.there is no way to know when stone tools first came into use. c. none of the latest technologies are as significant as the development of stone toolsd.stone tools were in use for two and a half million years. e.In today’s world, new technologies are constantly being developed.
