Food surpluses allowed people in West Africa to do which of the following? Choose four correct answers.

make clothing
make wooden houses
make masks

1 answer

The four correct answers are:

- Make baskets: With food surpluses, people in West Africa had more time and resources to engage in activities such as weaving baskets.
- Make tools and weapons: Similarly, with more food available, people had the excess resources to create tools and weapons for various purposes.
- Make clothing: With a surplus of food, people could dedicate more time and resources to activities such as spinning, weaving, and sewing, allowing them to create clothing.
- Make wooden houses: Having a surplus of food allowed people to have more time and resources to construct wooden houses for shelter and protection.
Other answer (make masks) is incorrect. Food surpluses do not play a significant role in the production of masks in West Africa.
