Ziggurats were temples. 
Like many ancient people, the ancient Sumerians believed that powerful gods lived in the sky. They built huge structures, called ziggurats, with steps climbing up to the top. Religious ceremonies were held at the very top. People left offerings of food and wine. The priests enjoyed these offerings, as the gods could not eat for themselves.
<span>The Ziggurat was built in the center of town. It was the center of daily life. Except for festivals, which, for the most part, were gloomy things, the Ziggurat courtyard was gay and lively. You might see an artist painting, a boy racing by on his way to school, someone milking a cow or making a basket. </span>
<span>From the top of the Ziggurat, you could see the protective wall built about the entire town, and over the wall to the farmlands beyond.</span>

Mars2501 [29]

The correct answer is A. The man who assassinated Kennedy.

Explanation

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) was the president of the United States from 1961 to 1963 when he was killed in the city of Dallas in the state of Texas by Lee Harvey Oswald, who days later would also be killed by Jack Ruby in a confusing episode when he was being taken to an investigation before a judge. The reasons for Lee Harvey Oswald to assassinate the president are uncertain, but when he was killed a few days after the President's assassination there was no clarity about the fact beyond the insistent self-declaration as innocent of Harvey Oswald. So, the correct answer is A. The man who assassinated Kennedy.
