Question3: Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer for each question.

The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately two million

B.C and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons

that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and

Neolithic Ages.

During the first period (2 million to 8000 B.C), the first hatchet and use of fire for heating

and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about one million years

into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and developed

new tools.

During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C), people made crude pottery and the first

fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed the bow and arrow, which was used until the

fourteenth century A.D.

The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs,

and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and

creating governments.
