Question 6 • Fundamentals of Art A

Which of the following is not true of the Fertile Crescent?

Answer
A
The Tigris and Euphrates rivers run through the Fertile Crescent.
B
The Fertile Crescent frequently experience flooding.
C
Societies of the Fertile Crescent believed in equality and communal living.
D
The first water management systems were created in this region, which led to the first cities.

Explanation

The Fertile Crescent included the lands around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and early communities developed irrigation and other water-management systems there. Flooding and the need to manage water helped shape settlement and the growth of cities. These societies were not generally based on equality and communal living; they developed social ranks and unequal distributions of wealth, so choice C is not true.
