Early on, farmers used horses, mules, and oxen. The invention of the horse collar changed things because it made a horse more efficient than an ox at pulling a plow, which meant that a farmer could do more work in a day with a horse than with an ox. After this change, which might have been in the 6th century, horses were very much preferred.

Before the Columbian Exchange most people in the New World did not rely on livestock to help them grow food. Which statement from this passage supports this conclusion?

The statement that "most people in the New World did not rely on livestock to help them grow food" is supported by the fact that before the Columbian Exchange, "Native Americans cultivated maize, potatoes, and other crops without the use of plows or draft animals." This suggests that their agricultural practices did not involve the use of livestock for farming activities.
