Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.18 Social Hierarchies, Labor, and Gender in Early Societies skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A source packet includes a status-based law, an elite tomb inventory, and a palace ration list. Which thesis best synthesizes the packet?

AThe packet proves the society was entirely egalitarian.

BThe packet contains only environmental evidence.

CThe packet shows that labor specialization did not exist.

DWritten, burial, and economic evidence together show ranked status and specialized labor in an early civilization.

Solution & Explanation:The law shows status distinctions, the tomb shows elite wealth, and the ration list shows organized labor, so the thesis synthesizes all three sources.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which claim best accounts for both continuity and variation across early civilizations?

AAll early civilizations had identical laws, rulers, and gender roles.

BNo early civilization had any social ranking.

CMany early civilizations developed ranked roles and specialized work, but the evidence and forms differed by region.

DSpecialization occurred only after 600 CE.

Solution & Explanation:This claim recognizes common patterns while avoiding the false idea that every early civilization developed in exactly the same way.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
