Answer (3)

A scribe is the designated writer in many societies. In Sumer, scribes were the ones who knew how to write. The general citizen was not usually educated in how to write, and so they had to ask the scribes to do any writing necessary.

In Sumer, only trained professionals called scribes had the skill to do writing for others. They were essential because most people were not literate and relied on scribes for documentation and record-keeping. Thus, the correct answer is B. A scribe.
