KIM [24]

Answer:

D.  The civilization had a functioning government in place that decided the law of the land.

Explanation:

The discovery of the <em>official-looking seal</em> and the<em> clay tablet containing the laws which the civilization have to follow</em> shows that they have a functioning government. This means that the society has a leader and they followed a set of rules.

It wasn't clearly stated in the statement whether the head was a king but it mentioned that the seal<em> was much like what a king would use. </em>So we cannot conclude that all civilizations were ruled by kings. <em>This makes choice A incorrect. </em>

Based on the information given, we're not sure whether it was the king who wrote the rules on the clay tablets. <em>This makes choice B incorrect.</em>

The statements above didn't show any evidence that the rulers were governors and not kings, so we cannot assume as well. <em>This makes choice C incorrect.</em>
