Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Pearson Social Studies Grade 5 Chapter 1 Test
Since you mentioned you uploaded an image with a task, but no image is visible in this interface (as I cannot view or process images), I’ll rely on the text you’ve provided — which appears to be a vocabulary matching worksheet from “Chapter 1.5.5” and includes Key Concepts questions.

Let’s solve the worksheet based on the text you pasted.

---

## Part 1: Vocabulary Matching

You are to match each definition (1–10) with the correct vocabulary word from the box:

> Vocabulary Words:
> culture, migrate, artifact, belief, kinship, hunter-gatherers, bison, ancestor, government, irrigation

---

Match each definition with the correct term:



1. A person who moves often in search of foodhunter-gatherers
*(They move to follow game and gather wild plants.)*

2. To move or travelmigrate
*(Commonly used for seasonal or long-distance movement.)*

3. A set of beliefs and way of life that are special to a certain groupculture
*(Includes customs, traditions, language, etc.)*

4. A group whose members share the same goalsgovernment
*(Though sometimes “community” or “society” fits better, among the given options, “government” is the closest — especially if referring to organized leadership toward shared goals.)*
⚠️ *Note: This is a bit ambiguous. “Belief” or “kinship” might fit better depending on context. But since “government” implies organized collective action toward common goals, we’ll go with that.*

5. To change in order to survive the conditions facedadapt
Wait — “adapt” is not in the vocabulary list! Let’s check again.

Looking back at your list: The vocabulary words listed are:
> culture, migrate, artifact, belief, kinship, hunter-gatherers, bison, ancestor, government, irrigation

But “adapt” is not there — yet definition #5 says “to change in order to survive…” — that’s clearly adapt, which is missing from the word bank.

This suggests either:
- There’s a typo in the worksheet, OR
- You missed including “adapt” in the word list.

Since “adapt” is not available, and none of the other words perfectly fit, let’s re-evaluate.

Actually — looking again, perhaps “belief”? No. “kinship”? No. None fit well.

Wait — maybe the intended answer is “adapt”, and it was accidentally omitted from the word bank. In many textbooks, “adapt” is a key term for survival changes.

➡️ Since we must choose from the given list, and none truly fit, perhaps it’s a mistake. But let’s proceed with the best possible matches for now.

6. A large animal that once roamed the plains in huge groupsbison
*(American bison were iconic Plains animals.)*

7. A system for bringing water to dry fieldsirrigation
*(Essential for agriculture in arid regions.)*

8. A system for making rules and decisions to help a groupgovernment
*(Clearly fits — governments make laws and decisions.)*

9. They traveled to find food, rather than staying in one placemigrate
*(Also fits “hunter-gatherers”, but “migrate” is more about the act of moving.)*
➡️ Actually, both 1 and 9 could point to “hunter-gatherers”. Let’s clarify:

- Definition 1: “A person who moves often in search of food” → hunter-gatherers
- Definition 9: “They traveled to find food, rather than staying in one place” → also describes hunter-gatherers

So perhaps definition 9 should be “migrate” — as it’s the *action* of traveling.

Let’s assign:

- 1 → hunter-gatherers
- 9 → migrate

That makes sense.

10. A relative who lived in the pastancestor
*(Straightforward — ancestors are past relatives.)*

Revised Matching (Best Fit):



| # | Definition | Vocabulary Word |
|---|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------|
| 1 | A person who moves often in search of food | hunter-gatherers |
| 2 | To move or travel | migrate |
| 3 | A set of beliefs and way of life that are special to a certain group | culture |
| 4 | A group whose members share the same goals | government |
| 5 | To change in order to survive the conditions faced | ❗ Not in list — likely “adapt” (missing) |
| 6 | A large animal that once roamed the plains in huge groups | bison |
| 7 | A system for bringing water to dry fields | irrigation |
| 8 | A system for making rules and decisions to help a group | government |
| 9 | They traveled to find food, rather than staying in one place | migrate |
|10 | A relative who lived in the past | ancestor |

⚠️ Problem: Definitions 4 and 8 both point to “government”, and definition 5 has no match.

Perhaps definition 4 was meant to be “kinship” — if “a group whose members share the same goals” refers to family/clan ties.

Let’s try:

- 4 → kinship (family groups often share goals)
- 8 → government

That works better!

And for #5 — if we must pick from the list, perhaps “belief”? No. Maybe it’s an error.

Alternatively, some curricula use “adapt” as a vocabulary word — so if you have access to the original image, double-check if “adapt” is listed.

For now, here’s the most logical matching:

Final Answer Key:

1. hunter-gatherers
2. migrate
3. culture
4. kinship
5. adapt ← *Not in list — possibly missing; if forced to choose, leave blank or note error*
6. bison
7. irrigation
8. government
9. migrate
10. ancestor

*(Note: “migrate” is used twice — which is acceptable if definitions differ slightly.)*

## Part 2: Key Concepts (Multiple Choice)

Question 11:


> Most experts think the first people came to North America...

Options:
a) by sailing from Europe
b) by crossing a land bridge (Bering Strait) between Asia and North America
c) by sailing from Africa
d) by walking from South America

Correct Answer: b) by crossing a land bridge (Bering Strait) between Asia and North America

*(This is the widely accepted theory — during the Ice Age, lower sea levels exposed a land bridge called Beringia.)*

---

Question 12:


> About 12,000 years ago, people began to plant crops. This allowed them to settle in one place. The planting and raising of crops is called...

Options:
a) farming
b) irrigation
c) government
d) agriculture

Correct Answer: d) agriculture

*(“Agriculture” is the broad term for growing crops and raising livestock. “Farming” is also correct, but “agriculture” is the more formal/academic term used in history/social studies contexts.)*

Note: Some might argue “farming” is more direct, but since “agriculture” is listed and is the scientific term, it’s the best choice.

---

Question 13:


> Which of the following was an achievement of the Maya civilization?

Options:
a) pyramids
b) irrigation
c) government
d) agriculture

Correct Answer: a) pyramids

*(The Maya built impressive stone pyramids, temples, and cities — like Tikal and Chichen Itza. While they also practiced agriculture, irrigation, and had complex governments, “pyramids” is the most iconic and specific achievement listed.)*

---

## 📝 Final Answers Summary:

Vocabulary Matching:


1. hunter-gatherers
2. migrate
3. culture
4. kinship
5. *[No perfect match — likely “adapt” missing]*
6. bison
7. irrigation
8. government
9. migrate
10. ancestor

Key Concepts:


11. b
12. d
13. a

If you can provide the actual image or confirm if “adapt” was in the word bank, I can refine #5. Otherwise, this is the best solution based on standard curriculum content.
