Question

"Once upon a time there were two countries, at war with each other. In order to make peace after many years of conflict, they decided to build a bridge across the ocean. But because they never learned each other's language properly, they could never agree on the details, so

the two halves of the bridge they started to build never met. To this day the bridge extends far

into the ocean from both sides, and simply ends half way, miles in the wrong direction from

the meeting point. And the two countries are still at war."-Vera Nazarian


The story above most closely reminds us of which Mesopotamian legend?


A. The Tower of Babel


B. The Ten Commandments


C. Hammurabi's Code


D. The Flood

Answer 1

A. The Tower of Babel

Step-by-step explanation:

The story narrates how two different countries decide to make peace with each other by building a bridge across the ocean but because they didn't learn each other's language properly, they were unable to finish bulidjng the bridge.
