Question

In olden days people travel all over the world by ____
A)Bus
B)Train
C)Aeroplane
D)Sailing ships

Answer 1

Hint: People have often wanted to cross the world and travel to new places, whether by land or by sea. The advancement of transport has brought us back from simple canoes to space travel.
International trade by crossing the sea was first ever travelled by older people.

Complete answer:
In the effort to navigate water, the first mode of transportation was created: ships. Those who colonised Australia between 60,000-40,000 years ago were credited as the first people to cross the sea, although there is some evidence that as far back as 900,000 years ago, seafaring trips were carried out.

Simple logboats, also referred to as dugouts, which were created by hollowing out a tree trunk, were the earliest known boats. Artifacts that date back to around 10,000-7,000 years ago provide evidence of these floating ships.

Lets see options :
Bus : Sir Goldworthy Gurney of Great Britain built a large stagecoach powered by a steam engine in 1830, which may have been the first bus powered by a motor. Bus was invented way later in the modern era thus this option is wrong.

Train : Wooden trains were used in 1515 by britain , train was not invented in prehistoric time thus this option is wrong too.

Aeroplane : Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights with their first powered aircraft on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk. The first modern aeroplane was designed by the Wright brothers . airplanes came after both bus and train in the modern era thus this option is wrong too.

Sailing ships : Ships were used in prehistoric time to cross oceans for trading and exploring. Ships were used 40000-60000 thousand years ago in olden days thus this is the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)

Note: It is thought that the first prehistoric boats were “dugout canoes” that were built independently by different communities of the stone age. Different boats were used for coastal fishing and transport in ancient history. A mesolithic boatyard has been discovered on the Isle of Wight in Britain.
