Explanation:

Question 9

The Nile River is the longest river in the world and flows north. The Euphrates and Tigris Rivers flow in different directions, and the Huang He (Yellow River) flows east.

A theocracy is a government where the ruler is considered divine (linked to a deity). Autocracy is rule by one, democracy by the people, and socialists relate to a political ideology, not divine rule.

David was the second king of the Israelites, united the 12 tribes, and is attributed with writing the Book of Psalms. Herod was a later ruler, Moses was a leader but not a king, and Saul was the first king.

Answer:

D. Nile River
