The correct answer is false I LITERALLY just took the test!

Cuneiform was a script that was used to write various languages of the near east during ancient times.  

  • It got its name from its sign which was wedge-shaped, in Latin cuneus means wedge-shaped impressions.  
  • This script was developed to write the Sumerian language that was spoken in southern Mesopotamia. It was later adapted to write Babylonian, Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Hittite, Elamite, Urartian, and Old Persian languages.
  • It is the oldest writing system in the world. It had between 600 to 1000 characters to write syllables or words. It did not have alphabets.

 In Mesopotamia cuneiform was only used by higher social classes such as priests. The priests went to schools and learned reading, writing, and math. While the people from lower social classes did not learn cuneiform and could not write or read.  

So we can say that cuneiform was a complicated writing system and very few Sumerians could write and the correct answer is B. False.
