Discussion
Consider the following statements regarding Mehrgarh :
A. Mehrgarh was the place where people learnt to grow rice and maize for the first time.
B. The bones of deer, sheep and goat were also found at Mehrgarh.
C. Mehrgarh houses were square or rectangular in size.
Choose the correct statement(s).
Answer: B
Statements B and C are correct, so the answer is B and C.
Mehrgarh, near the Bolan Pass in Baluchistan, is one of the earliest places where people learned to farm, but the crops were wheat and barley, not rice and maize. Maize was not grown in the subcontinent at all until it came from the Americas many centuries later, so statement A is false.
Excavations found the bones of animals, including wild animals such as deer and the bones of sheep and goat, which shows the change from hunting to herding (B). Remains of square or rectangular houses, some with several rooms, were also found (C). Every option containing A is therefore wrong.
