Question

complete the sentence.
the indus valley civilization began in ______________.
east asia along the ganges river
south asia along the indus river
east asia along the indus river
south asia along the ganges river

Explanation:

The Indus Valley Civilization is named after the Indus River, where its major sites (e.g., Harappa, Mohenjo-daro) are located. Geographically, this region is in South Asia, not East Asia. The Ganges River is associated with later South Asian civilizations, not the Indus Valley Civilization. Thus, the correct completion is "South Asia along the Indus River".

Answer:

South Asia along the Indus River
