Answer 1

The statement that accurately compares the social structures of Egypt and Mesopotamia is:

Priests and priestess were closer to the pharaoh in ancient Egypt.

In ancient Egypt, priests and priestesses held significant power and influence, often closely tied to the pharaoh, who was considered both a divine leader and a central figure in the religious practices of the society. In contrast, while priests also held an important role in Mesopotamian society, they did not have the same level of political power or divine association as in Egypt.
