A

Answer 1

Civilization involves an urban society with complex social structures and cultural sophistication. Ibn Khaldun's definition aligns with luxury and advancement in crafts, and while civilizations do experience cycles of rise and fall, the intertwinement of peasantry and monarchy cycles is not a given across all civilizations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding the true statements about civilization, it is a complex society characterized by urban development, social stratification imposed by a cultural elite, symbolic systems of communication, and a perceived separation from and domination over the natural environment. Ibn Khaldun indeed defined civilization as sophistication in luxury and mastery of crafts to advance society. However, the assertion that every human entity, including civilization, has a limited lifetime is more of a philosophical perspective on the rise and fall of civilizations. And while it's true that peasants and monarchies have historically been interrelated, stating that the cycle of civilization related to monarchy is necessarily intertwined with the cycle of peasantry is not universally true, as civilizations have varied widely in structure and governance.
