　　托福阅读句子简化题：Moving into Pueblos

　　【Paragraph 3】Population growth is considered a particularly influential push. After several generations of population　　growth, people packed the landscape in densities so high that communal pueblos may have been a necessary outcome.Around Sand Canyon, for example, populations grew from 5 -12 people per square kilometer in the tenth century to as many　as 30 - 50 by the 1200s. As densities increased, domestic architecture became larger, culminating in crowded pueblos. Some　scholars expand on this idea by emphasizing a corresponding need for arable land to feed growing numbers of people:　　construction of small dams, reservoirs, terraces, and field houses indicates that farmers were intensifying their efforts during the　　1200s. Competition for good farmland may also have prompted people to bond together to assert rights over the best fields.　(Moving into Pueblos)

　　Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage?　　Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

　　○Some scholars even claim that the intensification of farmers' various efforts during the 1200s led to further　population growth and the consequent need for more arable land.

　　○Evidence of intensifying agriculture in the 1200s indicates a need to feed a larger population and so extends the　argument that a growing population was the cause of the move to pueblos.

　　○During the 1200s, farmers met the demand for more arable land, but they also succeeded in cultivating existing　land more intensively with the help of agricultural construction projects.

　　○Some scholars feel strongly that the construction of small dams, reservoirs, terraces, and field houses in the　thirteenth century is independent evidence for growth in the number of people
