For the first one I guess it is woods from the meaning of the following lines -dense vegetation ,heavily forested etc.But the word edible plants makes me think the ans to be animals.What are the preceeding lines?
For the second one I think it is A as it is stated in the passage that the people were able to exploit thier environment ,thus it was capable to support such a large population.
Iam curious to know the correct answers.

Ans:
Q1.The paragraph "the forests were rich with game and many edible plant foods....." implies that game is something related to food so the correct answer is D) animals

generally we think game as sports and tricks but game has many meanings in the above paragraph following meaning of game is used

animals taken in hunting, especially wild animals hunted for sports or food


Q2. For this question I think only this paragraph is not sufficient. Anyway my guess is C) environmental problems were likely to arise

I don't know exactly which one is exactly correct but I have an advice to you. you must know that in readind section, when they ask the meaning of easy word they want the second or third meaning in dictionary.

Q1.the ans should be "wood"
In a sentence to describe the passage written above is "although there r wood and edible plant,the place is still unsuitable for people living".bcoz the basis condition for people living are wood(for building a woodroom)and edible plant(for food)
Q2.the ans should be A
the first sentence indicated the population and then all the next written is in order to introduce the envir- gets the capability to suppose the population.plz notice that written "people has no agriculture".....it means although it doesnt have agricu-.it has other ways for suppose the population. for instance.fishing and so on .it just more difficult to suppose the population .anyway. it can.
