Written sources go back to about 5500 years ago, when marketers started using labels to keep books and accounts.

The original markings were in the form of thumbnails and symbols, and different ways of writing developed in different cultures. The discovery of the letter, at a time when the first civilizations were occurring around the world, marks the end of prehistory. From the moment people invented the letter, written clues about their lives and activities became part of everyday life: receipts and bills were written, contracts were signed, significant events, laws and literary works were recorded. It was the beginning of written history.

Explanation:

  • The original method of writing probably evolved from the clay marks used by traders in Mesopotamia.
  • Around 3500 BC. e. The markings were stamped on the surface of the clay ball, marking the type and quantity of goods, and a few hundred years later Mesopotamians began to use sticks to leave wedge marks on moist clay tablets.
  • Essential tables are sun-dried to be stored in libraries. The tags grew into a letter called cuneiform, which has been in use for almost 3300 years.

The formal qualifications for a U.S. Senator require that a candidate be at least 30 years of age, a citizen of the United States for at least nine years and be a resident of the state in which he is running.Informal qualifications for both positions are more important in today's political landscape. Candidates must be educated and knowledgeable about national and international events and policies. The ability to communicate well and debate conflicting ideologies with rationality is an important qualification for all politicians.

Gwar [14]

In the 1930s the central states region known as the Great Plains suffered from the longest and hardest droughts on record. Because of farming practices at the time, it resulted in erosion and loss of topsoil that became friable and powdery. The persistent heat and drought caused crops to fail leaving the fields exposed to wind erosion. High winds then generated the massive dust storms.

The correct answer is letter D:

<em>Severe droughts hit the Midwest, making the soil dry and more vulnerable to winds.</em>
