Question 11

The Code of Hammurabi, Code of Justinian, and Twelve Tables are all legal codes. Option A is wrong as they weren't for democratic institutions. Option B is incorrect as they didn't advocate full social/political equality. Option C is wrong as they weren't about religious freedom. Option D is correct as they established legal principles.

During the Neolithic Revolution, farming grains/vegetables provided a reliable food source. Option A is wrong (not any environment). Option C is incorrect (some tools needed). Option D is wrong (not necessarily healthier than meat/fish). Option B is correct as farming gave a steady food supply.
