The greeting was stench
This stench came from various sources including but not limited to sweat, blood, dead bodies, fecal matter, urine, and other various sources, and they mixed together to be a "greeting" for Equiano who had never experienced anything like that before he was taken into slavery and put into the ship. He explains how he only wanted to die because of that.
The correct answer is D) amount of taxes to collect.
The statement that was not an economic decision that family groups made and that led to the development of a civilization is "amount of taxes to collect."
The first human civilizations had to make some decisions in order to survive such as crops to cultivate, location of settlement, and resources to use. Let's remember that early humans were nomads, hunter-gathers that used to follow herds to hunt them and feed their families. During the Neolithic Revolution, humans started to settle in one place and learned agriculture techniques that allowed them to grow crops and domesticate animals. That was the case of the Sumerians that established between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, in the region if the Middle East that today is Iraq.
The statements referred by the question are:
a) It convinced the United States to dismantle its nuclear weapons.
b) It proved that a naval blockade was not an act of war.
c) It showed Cuba that communism should be stopped.
d) It brought the world dangerously close to nuclear war.
The correct statement is D. Historians agree the Missile Crisis was the closest the world got to have a nuclear war between the U.S. and USSR. Nothing before or after this came as close to be direct aggression from one of these countries against the other.
Statements A and C never happened: the U.S. has nuclear weapons until today, and Cuba didn't give up on communism.
Statement B doesn't fit the facts around the Missile Crisis. The naval blockade didn't lead to war only because the U.S. was defensive.
