Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Sumerians at the time defined their gods or deities based on their perceptions and understanding of what gods or deities should be in relation to a particular period of time or needs. This made Sumerians believed that some of these gods have the characteristics or ability to create, become husband, wife, marry, eat, get angry, and perform other human functions.
