Question

Read the passage and study the image from Sugar Changed the World. An ancient rock painting of a person climbing a cliff to harvest honey from a beehive. Bees are depicted flying around the person. Caption: Based on drawings from around 7000 BCE, this image depicts rock climbers finding honey in cliffs. This is the earliest known form of honey collecting. (Eva Crane, World History of Beekeeping and Honey Hunting). . . . 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. How does the image support the text? The image shows how people kept bees for their honey by using hollow trees. The image shows that people used mashed fruits as sweeteners instead of sugar. The image shows how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began. The image shows an ancient person collecting sap from a maple tree for syrup.

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The image shows how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the passage, it is clearly stated that from an ancient rock painting, people were depicted climbing beehives in cliffs to collect honey and also from the image, there are bees hovering around the person.

It was clearly stated that it was the earliest form of honey collecting.

A rock painting in Spain also lent credence to this by showing a man who climbed a hive and was collecting honey with few bees flocking around him.

The image supports the text by showing how ancient people collected honey before beekeeping began.
