Answer:
Raw materials arrived in bigger towns with great frequency, which meant that these towns and cities could grow and develop faster.
Explanation:
The given question is about the text <em>California and Mesopotamia: Similarities and Differences.</em>
The options you were given are the following:
- Raw materials arrived in bigger towns with great frequency, which meant that these towns and cities could grow and develop faster.
- Overland transportation at that time was painfully slow and clunky, via simple wheeled pushcarts, or pack animals such as donkeys and camels.
- The canals provided a built-in transportation system for the Sumerian and Akkadian peoples who first settled the place.
- These rivers had many different branches, tributaries, feeding into them, creating a vast network of streams and canals.
The correct option is the first one as it directly states that water transportation helped towns and cities develop faster, making it crucial for the economical development of Mesopotamia. The rest of the options do not.
The second states why overland transportation wasn't the best, why it made things harder. There is nothing about water transportation.
The third simply states that the canals provided the Sumerian and Akkadian peoples with a transportation system. It doesn't say why that's good, unlike the first one.
The fourth would be the worst option as it doesn't include any information about transportation systems.

The excerpt from “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall which is an example of sensory imagery is <u>“brushed her night-dark hair.”</u>
“Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall is a poem which is a conversation between a mother and daughter about a 'Freedom March' which will be happening on the streets of Birmingham. The daughter wishes to attend the march but her mother restricts her to go there and tells her about the dangers of going there. Instead, she sends her daughter to Church which is a safe place. But unfortunately, a bombing happens in the church in which the mother finds her daughter dead. She falls prey to the act of racism.
The line“brushed her night-dark hair” appeals to both the sense of touch and sight in the poem.
