The answer is,

a. So they knew when the rivers were going to flood,

because Mesopotamian civilization was built upon the "twin rivers" (the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers). When the rivers flood, the water would leave behind fertile soil (excellent for farming) when levels returned to normal, washing up minerals collected as the river followed its normal course of movement.

When writing, the Thumb and Index finger are two of the most important fingers. When writing, your index finger needs to be placed on top of the pencil, working together with your thumb.
