Question

A rock drawing in Spain from about 7000 B.C. shows a man who has climbed a hillside, found a crevice holding a hive, and is reaching in to grab the honey. Indeed, a lucky wanderer in just about any part of Europe, Africa, or Asia that wasn’t covered with ice could stumble on a hive and—at the risk of some stings—come away with a treat. (People in the Americas had no bees, so used syrups made from maple trees, agave cactus, or mashed fruits for their sweeteners.) Then someone figured out that you didn't have to be lucky. You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home. You could “keep” bees—you didn’t have to find them.

Which excerpt from the passage provides evidence of a problem-and-solution structure?

“A rock drawing in Spain . . . shows a man . . . holding a hive.”


“A lucky wanderer . . . could stumble on a hive.”


“People in the Americas had no bees.”


“You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home.”

Answer 2

I would say a good answer for this would be your third option, which states, "You could hollow out a log near bees, and they would make it their home."

Let me explain why.

The problem here is the fact that the bees would be difficult to find without some wandering and luck, though the lucky explorer could walk away with quite a wonderful treat. Now, the last option presents a reasonable solution to this issue.

It states that you could hollow out a log near where the bees live, giving them the ability to make the log their home. That way, you would be able to, as it states, "keep" bees. It would prevent you from having to find them by random chance, as you would already know where they are.

I hope this answers your question!
