According to Roman tradition, the Republic began in 509 BCE when a group of noblemen overthrew the last king of Rome. The Romans replaced the king with two consuls —rulers who had many of the same powers as the king but were elected to serve one-year terms. Each consul could veto, or reject, the actions of the other consul.
A is incorrect, you cannot come to such a conclusion by looking at a picture of a Sphinx
B is incorrect, you'd need far more information to assume that stone carving was the MOST valued skill in early Egypt
C is incorrect, a picture of a Sphinx tells us very little about whether the Egyptians valued technology over religion.
Just by looking at the Sphinx, one can infer that the ancient Egyptians were capable of carving couple figures in stone. They DID make the Sphinx, after all.

Malaysia is often held up as a model nation that blends modern secular institutions with a tolerant brand of Islam. Sharia, or Islamic law, is followed but in the context of a constitutional framework. A recent decision, however, by Malaysia’s high court refusing to recognize a Muslim woman’s conversion to Christianity has called into question the country’s freedom of religion and multi-faith identity. Similar cases in Afghanistan, Egypt, and Jordan also have aroused concern among Western-based rights groups about Islam’s compatibility with democracy.
