Answer:
Option D: Handel's Messiah is a sacred oratorio.
Explanation:
Oratorio is defined as a large-scale narrative musical work for orchestra and voices, especially on sacred theme. Handel composed Messiah in 1741 which is an English-language oratorio. Handel in early years of his work established himself for his work for Italian opera but later in 1730's he turned into English oratorio because of the change in public taste. Messiah was his sixth work which he had composed for modest vocal and instruments, however, after his death this work is adopted on much larger scale with giant orchestra and choirs.
Answer:
The floodplains provided fertile soil for growing crops.
Explanation:
In the fertile crescent, the most important floodplain is that of Mesopotamia, between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates.
This area of the world is not only where agriculture was first attested, but also the region where the first human civilization emerged: Sumer.
And the floodplain was crucial for this. The rivers flooded their banks with nutrients that were carried in sediments. These nutrients made the soil more fertile, allowing for easier and more productive agriculture, which produced the necessary food surpluses that are required for the development of early civilization.
