Question

Choose all that apply.

Domesticated animals provided what three things for pastoral people?
source of food
source for something to do
source of milk, hides, and wool
source of money
source of power

Answer 1

The correct answers are A) a source of food, C) a source of milk, hides, and wool, and D) a source of money.

Domesticated animals provided these three things to pastoral people: a source of food, C) a source of milk, hides, and wool, and D) a source of money.

Pastoral people were humble people and in some cases poor people that only had their domesticated animals for surviving. They had cattle, cows, pigs, chicken and a few portions of land in the best cases, for farming. So with these resources, they had to make a living. So that is why domesticated animals represented a patrimony on those years. They were a source of food, a source of milk, hides, and wool, and a source of money.

Answer 2

Animals definitely provided a source of food: most animals were being kept to be eaten.

They also provided hide, milk and wool: first clothes were made of animal products.

When animals were first domesticated, money didn't yet exist and people had enough to do, so I would reject those options and choose " a source of power" as the last correct answer.
