    Who owned the Common?

    • A group of farmers.

    • The shady government.

    • Mr. Coumo.

    • The settlers.

    • The Turtle Clan Indians.

    Correct Answer
    A. A group of farmers.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A group of farmers." This means that the Common was owned collectively by a group of farmers. It implies that the land was likely used for agricultural purposes and that the farmers had joint ownership or rights to use the land. The other options provided, such as the shady government, Mr. Coumo, the settlers, and the Turtle Clan Indians, do not align with the idea of a group of farmers collectively owning the Common.

    What is Common?

    • A store.

    • A shopping center.

    • A piece of land owned by a group of people.

    • A community.

    • Disney Land

    Correct Answer
    A. A piece of land owned by a group of people.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A piece of land owned by a group of people." In this context, "common" refers to a shared or communal piece of land that is collectively owned by a group of individuals. This could be a public park, a neighborhood garden, or any other type of land that is accessible and used by multiple people. It is distinct from a store, shopping center, community, or Disney Land, as these options do not necessarily involve the concept of shared ownership of land.

    What was the Tragedy of the Commons?

    • The death of the sheep called the Common.

    • The destruction of a human habitat

    • The destruction of a national rainforest.

    • The destruction of a natural habitat that was over grazzed by sheep known as a common.

    • Mickey Mouse.

    Correct Answer
    A. The destruction of a natural habitat that was over grazzed by sheep known as a common.
    Explanation
    The Tragedy of the Commons refers to the destruction of a natural habitat that was overgrazed by sheep known as a common. This concept was popularized by ecologist Garrett Hardin, who argued that when a resource is owned collectively, individuals have a tendency to exploit it for their own benefit, leading to its depletion or degradation. In this case, the overgrazing by the sheep resulted in the destruction of the natural habitat, highlighting the negative consequences of unregulated use of shared resources.

    What animal grazed on the Commons?

    • Cows.

    • Sheep.

    • Lions.

    • Tigers.

    • Bears.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sheep.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is sheep. This can be inferred from the fact that the question asks about an animal that grazed on the Commons. Grazing typically refers to the act of animals feeding on vegetation, and sheep are known to be grazers. Cows are also grazers, but since sheep are specifically mentioned in the answer, it can be assumed that they were the primary animal grazing on the Commons. Lions, tigers, and bears are not typically associated with grazing behavior and are more commonly known as carnivores.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What did the tragedy affect and who did it affect?

    • The Sheep.

    • The farmers.

    • The natural resource that is the common itself.

    • Dino the dinosaur.

    • Lions.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The Sheep.
    A. The farmers.
    A. The natural resource that is the common itself.
    Explanation
    The tragedy affected multiple entities including the sheep, the farmers, and the natural resource that is the common itself. The sheep were likely affected in terms of their well-being, possibly facing harm or loss. The farmers would also be impacted as they rely on the sheep for their livelihood. Additionally, the tragedy would have had an effect on the natural resource, which refers to the common itself, potentially causing damage or depletion.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    How could it have been prevented?

    • Better planning.

    • Better rotation.

    • Better conservation.

    • Less sheep.

    • Younger farmers.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Better planning.
    A. Better rotation.
    A. Better conservation.
    Explanation
    The answer suggests that the situation could have been prevented by implementing better planning, better rotation, and better conservation practices. These measures would have helped in managing resources more effectively, ensuring proper utilization of land, and preserving the environment. It implies that with improved planning and conservation strategies, the negative consequences could have been avoided or minimized. The inclusion of "less sheep" and "younger farmers" in the options might indicate potential factors that could contribute to better planning, rotation, and conservation practices, rather than standalone preventive measures.

    Explanation
    The tragedy was caused by the group of farmers due to their ill planning and lack of conservation concerning the Common.
