Read the following selection from the section "Learning and religion." There were more than 1,000 deities in the pantheon of the
gods of the Mesopotamian cultures and many stories concerning the gods (among them, the creation myth, the Enuma Elish), and it is generally accepted that biblical tales such as the "Fall of Man" and the "Flood of Noah" (among many others) originated in Mesopotamian lore, as they first appear in Mesopotamian works such as "The Myth of Adapa" and the "Epic of Gilgamesh," the oldest written story in the world. The Mesopotamians believed that they were co-workers with the gods and that the land was infused with spirits and demons (though "demons" should not be understood in the modern, Christian, sense). Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the selection above? A Modern Christianity is based principally on religious ideas first developed in Mesopotamia. B Many religious stories originating in Mesopotamia are mirrored in later religious tales and beliefs. C Mesopotamian people recorded and incorporated many narratives from other cultures and religions. D Myths regarding spirits and demons in Mesopotamia were not written down formally like other stories.
