Answer:

The correct answer is a. to serve as temples for the city's god or goddess.

Explanation:

Mesopotamian people believed that it was better to pray to the gods from a very close place because if the gods lived up in the sky you had to build great platforms to stay close to them.

The ziggurats were like sand-castles, so it was easy to get them to stay up.

An example of a ziggurat was the tower of Babel. In that story, people tried to build a ziggurat that could reach to Heaven. However, God didn't like that and he decided to destroy the ziggurat and dispersed people so they couldn’t try it again.

Who did Queen Elizabeth I compromise with?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

is the name given to the religious and political arrangements made for England during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558–1603) that brought the English Reformation to a conclusion. The Settlement shaped the theology and liturgy of the Church of England and was important to the development of Anglicanism as a distinct Christian tradition.

When Elizabeth inherited the throne, England was bitterly divided between Catholics and Protestants as a result of various religious changes initiated by Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary I. Henry VIII had broken from the Roman Catholic Church and the authority of the pope, becoming Supreme Head of the Church of England. During Edward's reign, the Church of England adopted a Reformed theology and liturgy. In Mary's reign, these religious policies were reversed, England was re-united with the Catholic Church and Protestantism was suppressed.
