The correct answers are:

1. Fertile soil: River valleys provided fertile soil due to the annual flooding of the rivers, which deposited rich silt. This allowed for the cultivation of crops, which was crucial for the development of early civilizations.

2. Fresh water: River valleys provided a constant source of fresh water, which was essential for agriculture, drinking water, and other daily activities.
