PrepTest 103 - Section 3 - Question 12

Show summary

The Levant—the area that borders the eastern Mediterranean—was heavily populated in prehistoric times. ███ ████████ ██████ ███ █████████ █████ █████ █████ ████ ████████ ███ ████████ ███████ █████ ██████ ███ ████ ████████ ████████ ███████ ██████████ ████████ ██████████████ ████ ████████████ ████ ███ ██████ ████████████ ██ ███ ████████ ██████ ███ ███ ██ ██ ████████ ████████ █████████ ████ ██████████████

Summary

The Levant has a northern and a southern part, and both used to have high populations. The northern part still has a high population, but the southern part does not. This is because of a sudden economic collapse resulting from deforestation more than 6,000 years ago.

Notable Valid Inferences

The northern Levant did not face economic collapse about 6,000 years ago. Climate must not be part of the reason why the southern Levant is abandoned. The economic collapse is what caused the depopulation of the southern Levant, as opposed to some other factor.
