Part of the passage [Par B]:
Once horses and humans encountered each other, our
two species became powerfully linked. Humans domesticated horses some 6,000 years
ago, and over time, we have created more than 200 breeds.
The first domestic horses
were likely to have been kept mainly as a source of food
, rather than for work or for
riding. There is evidence of horses being raised for meat in Kazakhstan, in Central Asia,
around 5,500 years ago; later they began to pull chariots, and horseback riding became
common in Afghanistan and Iran about 4,000 years ago.
As we have shaped horses
to suit our needs on battlefields, farms and elsewhere, these animals have shaped
human history. The ways we travel, trade, play, work and fight wars have all been
profoundly shaped by our use of horses.
Main idea in paragraph B:
Use of horses influenced how we travel, trade, play,
work and fight.
Possible headings:
vi
A wide range of uses for domestic horses
v
What different breeds do best
iv
Influencing the outcome of conflicts
For paragraph B, it is easier to decide. Let’s eliminate two unsuitable
headings first:
Comment:
Even though it says “we have created 200 breeds”, the paragraph
does not
focus on what each breed does best. It just mentions what domesticated horses were
used for generally (travel, trade, play etc)
v What different breeds do best
