Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

When external energy is not available, as in traditional agriculture human labor is
necessary. Farm animals can reduce human labor, but it does not eliminate it. Working
behind a plow is hard work (though not as hard as doing it without the animal).
Machines can do many of these things faster and with less effort required of the farmer. It
becomes very attractive to reduce the hard work that wore out so many of our ancestors and
replace that by machines that are fueled by petroleum-based products. Thus, we plow oil
and raise crops.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
