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>

Identifying write a paragraph explaining why the caravel was an important development for european explorers
sergij07 [2.7K]
A caravel is a type of ship made from a single stern caste. These types of ships were used by the Europeans for their explorations of different lands unknown to them during the early days. Up to this day, the way a caravel looks is still debatable and historians are yet to find their answers. Through time these caravels were reliable because they can be easily maneuvered, their speed was incredible and yet they perform safe in the waters. The caravels gained their fame through the Spanish and Portuguese voyages that discovered lands far from their imaginations. Columbus was also said to have owned caravels during his time at sea and he named his ships Niña and Pinta. He admired them so great because of their speed and how easy it is to control at sea.
