Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Sumerians valued education for their children.

What we can infer is that Sumerians valued education for their children.

Sumerians are considered the oldest human civilization on Earth. Historians think that they settled in the Middle East, between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, in what today in Iraq. They were intelligent humans capable of developing agriculture techniques and founded important city-states such as Kish, Ur, Uruk, and Lagash. They also built great buildings called Ziggurats, that represented the center of the city-state. Education was an important component of the Sumerian society and they valued so much the education of their children.
