Arrange the following tools in the chronology of their prevalence :

(i) Cleaver
(ii) Lunate
(iii) Shouldered axe
(iv) Chopper
Codes :

  • A.(ii), (i), (iv), (iii)
  • B.(i), (iii), (iv), (ii)
  • C.(iv), (i), (ii), (iii)
  • D.(ii), (iii), (i), (iv)

Answer: C

The order in which the tools prevailed is chopper (iv), cleaver (i), lunate (ii) and shouldered axe (iii). The chopper is the oldest, a pebble tool of the Early Stone Age, the cleaver is an Acheulian tool, the lunate is a Mesolithic microlith, and the shouldered axe is a Neolithic tool.

The other options put the lunate before the chopper and cleaver, or the shouldered axe before the microlith, which is the wrong order from Palaeolithic to Neolithic.
