Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A classroom timeline stretches from 3000 BCE to 500 CE and marks these events: early cities in Mesopotamia, about 3000 BCE; Code of Hammurabi, 1754 BCE; Athens develops democracy, 508 BCE; Augustus becomes emperor, 27 BCE; Han paper invention, 105 CE; Gupta Empire begins, 320 CE. Which conclusion best synthesizes era, sequence, and change over time?

AAcross BCE and CE eras, societies created new forms of government, law, and technology while still continuing the need to organize and record human life.

BAll major changes happened only after 1 CE.

CThe Code of Hammurabi happened after Augustus became emperor.
