Which of the following correctly identifies civilizations with their classification?(1 point) Responses Egypt and Indus are classical civilizations. Egypt and Indus are classical civilizations. Greece and Rome are classical civilizations. Greece and Rome are classical civilizations. Mesopotamia and Greece are river valley civilizations. Mesopotamia and Greece are river valley civilizations. West Africa and China are classical civilizations.

Answer 1

To classify the civilizations mentioned:

1. Egypt and Indus: Both are generally classified as river valley civilizations, as they developed along the Nile and Indus Rivers, respectively.

2. Greece and Rome: Both are considered classical civilizations due to their significant contributions to culture, politics, philosophy, and art during the Classical period.

3. Mesopotamia: This is considered a river valley civilization due to its development along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

4. West Africa: Various kingdoms in West Africa, such as Mali and Ghana, are often classified as post-classical, not classical civilizations in the same sense as Greece and Rome.

5. China: Ancient Chinese civilizations (like the Shang and Zhou Dynasties) can also be considered classical.

Thus, the correct identifications from your statements are:

• Greece and Rome are classical civilizations.
• Mesopotamia is a river valley civilization.

So, if I summarize these correctly based on your options:

• "Greece and Rome are classical civilizations" is correct.
• "Egypt and Indus are classical civilizations" is incorrect; they are river valley civilizations.
• "Mesopotamia and Greece are river valley civilizations" is incorrect. Only Mesopotamia falls under this category.
• "West Africa and China are classical civilizations" is also incorrect as West Africa's major empires arose later.

Therefore, the only correct response is: Greece and Rome are classical civilizations.
