Question

Which of these resources would be of greatest importance to the survival of a civilization? A) gold B) lumber C) oil D) water

Answer 1

Water
all living things need water to survive, gold, oil, and lumber aren’t required but they’re useful in trading

Answer 2

Answer:

D) water

Explanation:

Gold isn't gonna help anyone if there's no water or food.

Lumber is a needed source for starting a fire to keep warm but it can't be eaten or drunk.

Oil is useless in this case because once again, it can't be eaten or drunk, it'll make you sick.

I hope this helps! :D

(Wait for a second opinion just in case.)
