B. A farming community of nearly 1,000 people
C. A city with a large ziggurat
D. A farming village that was surrounded by a large stone wall.

Answer 1

c. Jericho was a relatively small village

Answer 2

The city of Jericho is a historic city, also mentioned in the Bible, when the Jews, after 40 years of journey through the desert, after leaving Egypt, finally reached the promised land. The city was in the "Canaan" land, according to the Bible, which the Jews led by Joshua, who was leader after Moses, had to conquer. According to historical data, Jericho was located in the valley of the Jordan River, a small village inhabited by a few thousand people, with a stone wall around. There is no evidence of the existence of a ziggurat in the village, which is a stone pyramid, a type of building that dates back to the Sumerian civilization, and which is more characteristic of the Mesopotamian region than Palestine.

I would say that the right answer is C.
