The following descriptions are true about a civilization:

  • A few people are able to produce enough food for everyone.
  • People organize large projects such as levee-building.

The other statements are not true or are misleading in the context of what defines a civilization. In civilizations, agriculture and food production are typically still important, and the herding of domesticated animals may also play a role.
