To answer the question regarding what contributed to the increased economic and military power of the Sumerians, we can look at the potential causes listed:

  1. A series of highly strategic army leaders
  2. The development of bronze to make weapons
  3. A standing army of many trained soldiers
  4. The formation of alliances with other city-states

In this context, the best response to place in the "Cause" area would be B: The development of bronze to make weapons. This advancement greatly enhanced the military capabilities of the Sumerians.

You can structure it as follows:

Cause: The development of bronze to make weapons
Effect: Increased economic and military power

If you want to include other contributors, you could add them as well:

  • A series of highly strategic army leaders
  • A standing army of many trained soldiers
  • The formation of alliances with other city-states

Those would also be relevant to explaining the increased economic and military power but start with the most direct cause.
