STatiana [176]4 years ago

The origins of Western astronomy can be found in Mesopotamia, the "land between the rivers" Tigris and Euphrates, where the ancient kingdoms of Sumer, Assyria, and Babylonia were located. A form of writing known as cuneiform emerged among the Sumerians around 3500–3000 BC.

Which answer is best represented by the highlighted text?.
Schach [20]

Answer:

B. Fact

Explanation:

The highlighted text is a "fact" because it is expressing a statement that is real and is backed by evidence. For example, it states that <em>"water is a basic human right.</em>" This is, indeed, an "objective reality." It also states that<u> only 15% of the residents in the poor villages of Africa have access to drinking water.</u> This is backed by evidence that <em>the nearest drinking water is within a mile. </em>

The statement is<em> not a rhetorical question</em> because it is not asking anything. It is also <em>not a band wagon appea</em>l because it <em>doesn't persuade</em> the reader to do anything or to think about something. It is simply stating a "fact."

So, this explains the answer.
