Answer the following question: I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Not all of these cultural elements characteristic of the Neolithic appeared everywhere in the same order: the earliest farming societies in the Near East did not use pottery. In other parts of the world, such as Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia, independent domestication events led to their own regionally distinctive Neolithic cultures that arose completely independent of those in Europe and Southwest Asia. Early Japanese societies and other East Asian cultures used pottery before developing agriculture."?
Answer:
Which of the following developed farming before pottery: Japanese societies or the earliest farming societies in the Near East?
