Trade was possible because the Sumerians had developed a complex division of labor.

True or False?

Asked by Lupe858

Answer (3)

Well, there is no simple answer, but I think it's generally correct: the division of labour was connected historically to an increase in trade in the Sumerian cities..
A division of labour means that not everyone has to work getting food, and this leaves some people free to practice trade.

A. True is the right answer ;

The statement is True, as the Sumerians' complex division of labor allowed for specialization and increased productivity, which facilitated trade. This specialization led to the production of surplus goods that could be exchanged for needed resources. Thus, trade networks developed as a result of this specialization within Sumerian society.
