The Great Ziggurat of Ur dates to about 2100 BCE and Hammurabi's code to about 1750 BCE. How long between them?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. About 350 years
- Step 1: Subtract the dates: 2100 - 1750 = 350 (years BCE count down). Answer: About 350 years. Why not the others: 850 adds the dates wrongly. 150 and 550 do not fit.
