Answer:

alright here you go :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Civilizations are complex societies that have certain characteristics. These include large population centers, shared communication strategies, systems for administering territories, a complex division of labor, and the division of people into social and economic classes 1. The development of civilization depended on the ability of some agricultural settlements to consistently produce surplus food, which allowed some people to specialize in non-agricultural work. This allowed for increased production, trade, population, and social stratification 2. Governments and states emerged as rulers gained control over larger areas and more resources, often using writing and religion to maintain social hierarchies and consolidate power over larger areas and populations 2.
