an archeologist discovers an official-looking seal during an archeological dig. the seal is cylindrical in shape and is much like what a king would use when signing letters. not long after, the archeologist finds a clay tablet covered in cuneiform script. the archeologist translates the words on the tablet. he discovers that it states a set of laws and rules that the citizens of the civilization must have had to follow.based on the passage, what conclusion can be drawn about the civilization? a. all ancient civilizations were ruled by kings, and they set the law and rules of the land. b. the king of this civilization used pictogram script to write laws and rules on clay tablets. c. the civilization didn’t believe in having a single king and was ruled by a group of governors. d. the civilization had a functioning government in place that decided the law of the land.

d. The civilization had a functioning government in place that decided the law of the land.

Explanation:

This is the only logical conclusion that we can get from the information providen by the passage. Let's begin, the passage shows us that there was probably a king in that civilization as the official looking seal is similar to others. The archeologist can compare his knowledge from other ancient civilizations and supose that this one has that thing in common. The tablet with cuneiform script demonstrates that the civilization was organized enough to have laws and rules, there were some problems that were so common the government needed a way to treat them.  

So the government was stable enough to apply rules over the citizens, making it functional.

The things we can't know from the information is who wrote in the tablet, it could be the king or someone designated for that job. The content of the tablet doesn't say if there was one king or various governors. Lastly, the things found out by the archeologist only give us information of that specific civilization, we can generalize.

background

early european explorers to the americas likely experienced emotions including awe at the vast "new" environment, amazement at meeting "others," the thrill of the unknown, concern for personal safety, desire for personal reward, and longing for their homeland and those left behind. written and pictorial records attributed to europeans provide the bulk of the records of these early travels. impressions of natives as well as native impressions of europeans are frequently framed in the narratives of the explorers. examination of these records indicates the cautious and curious nature of first encounters.

significance

centuries of ignorance, prejudice, and opinions lacking evidence or scholarly research have tainted traditional views of the earliest meetings between native americans (first nations in canada) and europeans. students may come to recognize how the later period of continued exploration, settlement, and interaction was influenced by these early encounters from the st. lawrence river to georgia.
