Answer:

C. scribe

E. bureaucrat

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuneiform was the writing system in Mesopotamia developed around 3200 BC. It was used first to write the Sumerian language and it is the first known system of writing in human history. It was written by wedge tool on the clay tablets. Firstly it was used for administration and in the temples.

Therefore, with the writing system, the professions of the scribe and bureaucrat were developed.

Scribes were the person who professionally wrote documents and made copies of them. They would write down important texts for businesses and copy the manuscripts.

Burioracts are people who deal with official documents and procedures, usually connected with governmental bodies and administration. As texts were used largely in this area, we can conclude this profession developed with the development of the writing technique.
