Let’s go through each question one by one, think carefully, and pick the best answer.

Question 1: According to scientists, about how long ago was the Earth created?

Scientists use rocks, meteorites, and radioactive dating to figure out Earth’s age. The most accepted number is 4.5 billion years ago.
- 4 years? Too recent — that’s like your little brother’s age!
- 4 million? Still too young — humans weren’t even around then.
- 100 billion? Way too old — the whole universe is only about 13.8 billion years old!
✔ So, correct answer: D. 4.5 billion years ago

Question 2: Did dinosaurs and humans live together on Earth?

Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago. Humans (Homo sapiens) showed up only about 300,000 years ago. That’s a HUGE gap!
So no — they never met.
✔ Correct answer: B. No

Question 3: How did the very early humans get food?

Before farms or grocery stores, early humans had to find food in nature. They hunted animals with tools and gathered fruits, nuts, roots, and berries. This is called “hunting and gathering.”
Ranching and farming came much later. Grocery stores? Not until thousands of years after that!
✔ Correct answer: A. Hunted and gathered

---

Question 4: What do we call the period of time when early humans hunted and gathered?

This time is known as the Paleolithic Age — also called the Old Stone Age. It lasted from about 2.5 million years ago until around 10,000 BCE.
“Neolithic” is when farming started. “Old Time” and “Early Time” aren’t real historical terms.
✔ Correct answer: A. Paleolithic Age

---

Question 5: What was the major discovery of the Paleolithic Age?

During this time, humans learned to control fire — for warmth, cooking, protection, and light. This was huge!
Medicine? Not really developed yet. Internet? Nope — not even close. Farming? That came in the next age (Neolithic).
✔ Correct answer: B. Fire

---

Question 6: What word means to move around (generally to find food)?

When people move from place to place to follow animals or find plants, they are being nomadic.
“Sedentary” means staying in one place — opposite of nomadic.
“Busy” and “camping” don’t mean moving to survive.
✔ Correct answer: C. Nomadic

---

Question 7: What was the major discovery that changed the life of humans and allowed them to settle in one place?

Once humans figured out how to grow crops and raise animals (farming), they didn’t need to wander anymore. They could stay in one spot, build homes, and start villages.
Cooking helped, but it didn’t let them settle. Farming did.
✔ Correct answer: Farming *(Note: Option D is cut off in image, but based on context and standard curriculum, it’s definitely “Farming”)*

Wait — looking at the image again, Question 7 options are partially visible:

> A. Cooking
> B. [cut off]
> C. [cut off]
> D. Farming ← likely here

Even though part is cut off, based on history knowledge, farming is the key innovation that led to settled life.

✔ Final choice for Q7: D. Farming

*(Assuming D is “Farming” — if you can see full options, confirm — but logically, it must be farming.)*
