Answer 1

To identify a culture as a civilization, several key conditions typically must be met. The following statements correctly identify such conditions:

1. People have begun to build cities.
2. People divide up necessary labor.
3. People have developed a systematic approach to religion.
4. People have learned to farm and grow a surplus of food.

The statement regarding being ruled by a monarchy or oligarchy is not necessarily a condition for a civilization, as civilizations can have various forms of governance. Therefore, the correct responses are the first four.
