Answer:
a. b. d.
Explanation:
Mesopotamia means '' the land between rivers ''. It is a piece of land on the rivers Tiger and Euphrates.
a. The people of a city-state typically lived in or around walled cities where government buildings were located and people could be safe if attacked. -- The first people of Mesopotamia gathered in small groups and formed villages and towns. As they were becoming more and more efficient in supplying villages and cities with water, the bigger cities became. They learned how to write and form a government in order to reach order in the cities.
b. The people shared a common language, culture, and religion and were ruled by a king who enforced the laws. For example, Sumerians were the first people ever to form a civilization. They were the ones who invented the government and writing. They lived in city states and each city had their own king that used to rule the government and everything that was going on in a certain city. Each city had their own God, as well.
d. The most important building was a ziggurat or temple to the gods where sacrifices were made.
What makes Ziggurat or temple so important is the fact that people back then used and built them because of their beliefs. They wanted to build them high so they can be closer to heaven and Gods.
They used to believe that Gods would come down eventually and because Mesopotamia was flat, they wanted to build high temples so Gods could reach them.
