GinnyAnswer
The correct answer is:

a. Hunter and Gathering, Horticulture, Pastoral, Agricultural

1. Hunter and Gathering: This refers to societies that rely on hunting wild animals, fishing, and gathering wild fruits, nuts, and vegetables for sustenance. This was the primary way of obtaining food in early human history.

2. Horticulture: In this society, people use small-scale farming techniques with simple tools to cultivate plants. Horticulture involves gardening and cultivation of crops using hand tools rather than large machinery.

3. Pastoral: Pastoral societies are centered around domesticated animals, with people depending on herding and breeding livestock for survival. These societies often move their animals in search of fresh pasture and water.

4. Agricultural: Agricultural societies engage in large-scale farming with the use of advanced tools and techniques. They cultivate crops and raise livestock on a more extensive scale to support a larger population.

Understanding these four major preindustrial societies provides insight into how different human communities adapted to their environments and resources before the industrial revolution.
