Answer:
The Intercoastal Highway in South America is a highway that connects the western and the eastern coast of the continent, running through the countries of Peru and Brazil. The big positive of this highway is that it is connecting the eastern and western part of the continent, enabling for easier transportation of goods, and easier movement of people, which is of great economic benefit for everyone involved. On the other hand, there are also negatives, with the two biggest being the destruction of lot of tropical rainforest, and deaths of animals. In order for this highway to be built, enormous amount of trees and other vegetation have been cut down, which is always a problem. Also, the wild animals are not used to a highway running through their habitat, so they do not know how to react, very often being run over by the vehicles passing through.

Answer: The school board wants you to answer C) Agricultural Revolution, but that is incorrect.
The correct answer would be during the Neolithic Era, so none of the choices would be the right answer.
Explanation: During the Paleolithic Era, which corresponds to the old stone age, people were hunter-gatherers. This means that they obtained food by hunting animals and by gathering fruits, vegetables, and nuts from local plants. So options A and B are pretty much the same thing and incorrect.
Domestication and pastoralism developed during the Neolithic or new stone age when people discovered that, if they took care of certain plants, they would grow again and give them more food. Domestication is not the same thing as agriculture (even though the school system continues to teach it this way).
The Agricultural Revolution actually refers to a much later period in history, during the 18th century in Britain, when traditional agriculture went through a process of transformation. This is way after domestication and pastoralism.
Finally, option D is also incorrect because classical civilizations like Greece and Rome already had full-scale agriculture and had already gone through the process of domestication and pastoralism.
