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>

What is the difference between Jefferson's and Henry's evidence of reaction to the colonists' petitions--What rhetorical appeal(
maks197457 [2]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can comment on the following things.

The difference between Jefferson's and Henry's evidence of reaction to the colonists' petitions was that Thomas Jefferson decided to draft part of the "Olive Branch Petition" of July 1775, in which American Colonists asked for the support of English King George III to help the colonists and their conditions.

Jefferson's language in the petition was deemed a little bit aggressive, and the draft was edited by John Dickinson, from Pennsylvania.

In the case of Patrick Henry, he was direct and became so famous by his quote of "Gimme liberty or gimme death!"

In both cases, the rhetorical appeal of these speeches relied on Pathos, the rhetorical device that appeals to emotion to convince the audience.
