Answer 1

The two correct effects of the agricultural revolution leading to cities are:

1. **a food surplus and a population boom**: The agricultural revolution allowed for the production of more food than necessary for immediate survival, leading to a population increase as more people could be fed.

2. **specialized labor leading to new inventions**: With a stable food supply, not everyone needed to focus on food production, allowing for specialized labor to develop, which in turn facilitated new inventions and advancements.

So, the answers are:

- a food surplus and a population boom
- specialized labor leading to new inventions
