Sumerian is the language of ancient Sumer and a language isolate that was spoken in Mesopotamia, during the 3rd millennium BC.

The Sumerians were one of the earliest urban societies to emerge in the world, in Southern Mesopotamia more than 5000 years ago. They developed a writing system whose wedge-shaped strokes would influence the style of scripts in the same geographical area for the next 3000 years

Cuneiform is a system of writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia c. 3500-3000 BCE. It is considered the most significant among the many cultural contributions of the Sumerians and the greatest among those of the Sumerian city of Uruk which advanced the writing of cuneiform c. 3200 BCE.  

The name comes from the Latin word cuneus for 'wedge' owing to the wedge-shaped style of writing. In cuneiform, a carefully cut writing implement known as a stylus is pressed into soft clay to produce wedge-like impressions that represent word-signs (pictographs) and, later, phonograms or `word-concepts' (closer to a modern-day understanding of a `word'). All of the great Mesopotamian civilizations used cuneiform until it was abandoned in favour of the alphabetic script at some point after 100 BCE, including:

The only one to be close to a stylus is a c) reed pencil, since the rest was still not invented 5000 years ago.

Integration of the high school in Little Rock finally happened when
Damm [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is the second one: <em>President Eisenhower sent federal troops to protect the students</em>.

Explanation:

The first statement doesn't relate to the question and the last statement refers to an event before the integration in the High School in Little Rock.

In 1954 the Supreme Court had ruled in Brown v. Board of Education case that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

So in 1957, the black movement decided to test the decision by registering nine black students in the Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Faubus tried to stop the group from studying there by calling the Arkansas National Guard to prevent their entrance to the school.

A few days later President Eisenhower sent in federal agents and troops to escort the students into the school.

The black students were recruited by a member of the local NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and received counseling sessions to understand and to prepare for the beginning of the school year and to know how to act on possible hostile situations inside the school.
