Answer 1

Answer: C. Houses were developed on long winding streets, and many temples were established in cities.

Explanation: During the Uruk Period, a form of urban life began to blossom. With long streets lined with many houses, citizens lived in communities. Fine goods, foods, and marketplaces would take place in the city with faith at the center of daily life.

Temples were necessary for worship and also showcased the power and authority of the gods. The people were polytheistic (meaning they believed in multiple gods), and certain temples would be dedicated to certain gods. Offerings would be left by worshippers to gain favor and receive blessings from specific deities.
