30. Look at the word jumbled in the
passage. Click on the word in the
bold text that is similar in meaning.

Fortunately for archaeologists, the early hunters
and gatherers abandoned food bones and tools where
they dropped them. In Olduvai, the gently rising
waters of a prehistoric lake slowly covered the bone
caches and preserved them for posterity, with the
tools lying where they had fallen. Other ancient
people lived by the banks of large rivers. Their tools
are found in profusion in the gravel of riverbeds that
were subsequently jumbled and re-sorted by
floodwater, leaving a confused mass of artifacts,
rather than undisturbed floors of former dwellings for
archaeologists to uncover.

Is the answer "confused" ?


25. Look at the word sites in the
passage. Click on the word in the
bold text that is similar in meaning.


These groups of people favored lakeside
camps or convenient rock overhangs for protection
from predators and the weather, for availability of
abundant water, and for access to herds of game
and vegetable foods. Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania is
renowned for its prehistoric sites, which include
small lakeside locations used by early humans for a
few days or weeks before they moved on in their
constant search for game, vegetable foods, and fish.

Is the answer "locations" ?

Thanks sooo much
