<h2>A. The Torah</h2>

-- from the Jewish Scriptures  (which Christians refer to as the Old Testament).

Further details:

The ancient Hebrew Bible began with the "Torah," that is, "The Law," which was given through the leader of Israel, Moses.  Most of us are familiar with the Ten Commandments as given to Israel through Moses.  Those famous "Ten Commandments" are essentially a concise summary of God's moral law for his people.  The religion of Judaism was built on moral commands and human beings' ethical obligation to obey them.  In fact, beyond those major summaries of God's law in the Ten Commandments, the Jewish rabbis counted a total of 613 commands given in the Torah (the books of Moses).

Many legal systems have looked to the basic ethical foundation of law in the Jewish Scriptures.  The examples cited in the question include things specific to Jewish religion, however.  Making thievery (stealing) a punishable offense would be a basic moral principle.   Outlawing polytheism and work on the Sabbath would be specific religious views of Judaism.

Which accurately describes the development of civilization in ancient Mesopotamia?
Sliva [168]

The correct answer is c.

Mesopotamia is known as the “cradle of civilization” mainly by the invention of writing (which is known as Cuneiform writing) in the region of Sumer.

Cuneiform is a system of writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia between 3500 and 3000 BCE, its name comes from the Latin word cuneus for 'wedge' due to the wedge-shaped style of writing.  

All of the great Mesopotamian civilizations used cuneiform until it was changed by the alphabetic script at some point after 100 BCE.

Before railroads, people lived mainly near waterways.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

You can technically build a "cities" without waterways, however, it further complicates transportation, trade, and relations with other cities. For a city to thrive, it must have some way of being able to transport goods, resources, and people from the place to anywhere else, and back. Waterways, paved roads, pathways, and later planes and helicopters are all ways of transportation. However, the most natural and easiest one was by waterways. Waterways utilized boats, which can generally hold more than any land transportation at the time, and uses the current for travelling, which typically can help speed, or even impede the transportation process.
