Read the paragraph given below and answer the questions (1 to 4 ) :
Demographic trends in primitive populations are influenced not only by food technology but also by health, transport, war technologies, and by the system of organisation, which could be called “administrative technology”. In the past health technology was so primitive that many well-fed populations had low birth rates owing to endemic venereal disease and malaria, and high mortality rates, particularly for infants. The main technique of avoiding contamination by epidemic disease was to isolate oneself as much as possible from the source of contamination by such procedures as abandoning the old village and building a new one in another place.

2. In the past, even well-fed population had low growth rate because
(1) Birth rate and death rate was low for their better nutrition.
(2) Death rate was high for high level of contamination.
(3) Birth rate was low owing to venereal disease and malaria and high death rate of the infants.
(4) Better access to family planning methods to keep the growth rate low.

3. Improvement in transport technology would effect mortality by
(a) spreading of epidemics by opening up new regions for contact.
