Wouldn’t it be all of the above?
Answer: yes it is because it makes sense
"The green mug or the blue cup seem like a good choice" is the only sentence that uses a verb that agrees with its compound subject, since the others have issues with number.
Answer:
The word 'prescribed' as used in the sentence means the ruler had already written down the punishment for transgressors of the code of laws he had written.
Explanation:
From the passage, King Hammurabi was ruler of Babylon and he laid down certain code of laws to keep the peace and order.
From these code of laws, he had already pre-written the punishments that offenders for varying offences would get.
The punishments could be as mild as fines or as severe as death, depending on the severity of the crime.
Which subject is it? what is the question about?
