To determine which of the options most contributed to the rise of Sumer, we can analyze the historical significance of each factor.
A) Agriculture: Sumerians were among the first civilizations to practice agriculture, which played a critical role in their rise. The fertile soil of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers enabled them to develop an advanced irrigation system and cultivate crops. The surplus of food allowed for population growth, division of labor, and technological advancement.
B) Trade: Trade was another crucial factor in the rise of Sumer. Being located between different regions and near waterways, Sumer became an important center for trade. This facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and technologies, leading to cultural and economic development.
C) Military Conquest: While military conquest was prevalent during ancient times, it was not a major factor in the rise of Sumer. Sumer itself was not founded through military conquest, but rather as a result of societal and agricultural development.
D) Monotheism: Monotheism, the belief in only one god, did not emerge until much later in history. Therefore, it would not have directly contributed to the rise of Sumer.
Considering the historical context, both agriculture (option A) and trade (option B) significantly contributed to the rise of Sumer. However, agriculture played a more fundamental role, as it provided the basis for settled societies, population growth, and surplus production.
