The correct classification of the civilizations mentioned is as follows:
- Greece and Rome are classical civilizations. This is accurate as both Greece and Rome are well-recognized classical civilizations known for their contributions to art, philosophy, and governance.
The other statements contain inaccuracies:
-
West Africa and China: While China is considered a classical civilization, West Africa is primarily associated with later civilizations, such as the kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, which emerged after the classical period.
-
Mesopotamia and Greece: Mesopotamia is indeed a river valley civilization, but Greece is not classified as a river valley civilization; it developed in a different geographic context.
-
Egypt and Indus: Egypt is a river valley civilization, but the Indus Valley Civilization is generally classified separately and is not classified as a classical civilization in the same context as Egypt.
So the statement "Greece and Rome are classical civilizations." is the only correct classification among the provided options.
