    Correct Answer

    • Latin

    • Italian

    Correct Answer
    A. Hebrew
    Explanation
    Hebrew is the correct answer because it was indeed one of the languages used by writers in the Ancient Near East. Hebrew was primarily spoken and written by the ancient Israelites and is considered a Semitic language. It was used for religious texts such as the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and other ancient Jewish literature. Greek, Latin, and Italian were also important languages in different regions and time periods, but they were not as commonly used in the Ancient Near East as Hebrew.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The idea that society as a whole is more important than the individual
    Explanation
    Ancient Roman culture promoted the belief that society as a whole is more important than the individual. This can be seen in their emphasis on duty, loyalty, and sacrifice for the greater good of the community. Roman society was highly structured and hierarchical, with a strong sense of collective identity and social cohesion. Individuals were expected to prioritize the needs and well-being of the community over their own personal desires or ambitions. This belief was reflected in various aspects of Roman life, including their political and legal systems, military organization, and social norms.
