The correct answer is option D: It was the site of the Kaaba, where pilgrims congregated.

The city of Mecca in the Hejazi region of the Arabian Peninsula is an important place because it was the site of the Kaaba, where pilgrims congregated. Also, it is the holiest city in the Islam religion since it is home to the Kaaba and an obligatory pilgrimage known as the Hajj for all Muslims.

The correct answer is:

D. It was the site of the Kaaba, where pilgrims congregated.

Explanation:

The city of Mecca is the holiest city in the religion of Islam because it is where Muhammad was born and because<em> The Kaaba (the most important mosque which was built in a cuboid form by Abraham and his son Ishmael</em>) is located in this city. Mecca is considered the place where angels visit and mercy falls.

In the religion of Islam, there are five pillars (faith, five daily prayers, charity, the fast of Ramadan and pilgrimage). The Hajj is the annual pilgrimage where Muslims go to the Mecca mainly to visit The Kaaba during the last month of the Muslim lunar year, and lasts for five days. Muslims face the direction of The Kaaba when they pray not because they worship The Kaaba, but because it is the place of worship of the one God, Allah.

Which statement best describe charecteristics of a partnership
Dmitriy789 [7]

A partnership is an unincorporated association of two or more individuals to carry on a business for profit. Many small businesses, including retail, service, and professional practitioners, are organized as partnerships.  

A partnership agreement may be oral or written. However, to avoid misunderstandings, the partnership agreement should be in writing. The agreement should identify the partners; their respective business‐related duties and responsibilities; how income will be shared; the criteria for additional investments and withdrawals; and the guidelines for adding partners, the withdrawal of a partner, and liquidation of the partnership. For income tax purposes, the partnership files an information return only. Each partner shares in the net income or loss of the partnership and includes this amount on his/her own tax return.
