Early civilizations developed writing for the following reasons:

  1. To keep track of goods - Writing helped in record-keeping for trade, inventory, and economic transactions.
  2. To worship gods and goddesses - Writing was used for religious texts, prayers, and rituals.
  3. To make life in cities possible - Writing facilitated administration, governance, and the management of larger populations in urban centers.

The other options, such as educating women in temple schools and domestication of animals and plants, are not primary reasons for the development of writing.
