Section B Source-Based Question (10 marks) In answering the questions, you may use your knowledge and understanding of the period to help you interpret and evaluate the sources. You must use the sources to which you are specifically directed, but you may use any of the other sources where they are helpful.
1. This question is about writing systems in ancient civilisations. Source A:
An account of the writing system in the Indus Valley.
By 2600 B.C. specialised engravers made seals with the writing in reverse so that when stamped, it formed a raised positive message. Inscribed items are found in all sites, throughout the cities in the streets and houses. They are mainly from the major streets leading into and out of the city gateway, the craft workshop areas and near the houses in the high walled areas. Only certain people owned seals, and few people were literate. Source B:

Study Sources A. What can you infer from Source A about how writing was used in the Indus Civilisation?
L1
(5)
Lifting from Source Writing was used to create a raised positive message 1 They are mainly from the major streets leading into and out of the city gateway, the craft workshop areas and near the houses in the high walled areas. Only certain people owned seals.
L2
Inference, Unsupported Source A tells us that 2-3 Writing was used as a form of communication. Writing was used to aid to provide information. Writing was used as a status symbol.
L3
Inference, Supported Source A tells us that writing was used as a form of communication as seals were created “with writing in inverse” to “create a raise positive message”. Writing was used to transmit thoughts between people, thus making it a form of communication. 4-5
4
Source A tells us that writing was used to provide information as it shows us that most writings were found “mainly from the major streets”, “craft workshop areas” and “near houses” probably indicates that writings were used to provide information like directions. Source A also tells us that writing was used as a status symbol as it was exclusive. It was probably used by people who have power since “only certain people owned seals”, and the intellects/ literates who were few in numbers as stated in the source. (b )
Study Sources B. What does Source B tell us about Ancient Civilizations?
L1
Lifting from Source/ Description of Source Source B is a diagram showing scripts of ancient civilizations.

Inference, Unsupported Writings in most ancient civilisations were pictographic. Ancient civilisations may have exerted influence on each other.
2-3
People in ancient civilisations were mainly concerned with the forces of nature. People in ancient civilisations were shallow minded and insular. (any 2) L3
Inference, Supported Source B tells us that the writings in ancient civilisations were pictographic in nature. The Chinese, Egyptians and Sumerians drew symbols that look like hills and mountains to symbolize hills and mountains. The writings of most civilisations used symbols that resemble the object that they are trying to symbolize, thus rendering them pictographic. Source B also tells us that the ancient civilisations may have exerted 4-5 influence on each other as we can see that the writings of some civilisations bore similarities. In Source B, we see how the Ancient Chinese and Egyptians both used shapes/ symbols that went up and down to transmit the idea of heights associated with hills and mountains. Thus, it is possible to infer that the civilisations may have influence each other, making them absorb the features of the writing of other civilisations into their own writing. Source B also tells us that people from ancient civilisations are concerned with the forces of nature. Source B shows us that most symbols were
5
created to represent a certain aspect of nature, like the hills and mountains. We can thus infer that the people of ancient civilisations were mostly interested in forces of nature, thus most symbols were created to represent them. Source B also tells us that the people in ancient civilisations were insular and shallow minded. We know this as Source B shows us how in some civilisations, foreign country share the same symbol/ signs as hilly country and mountains. We can thus infer that the people in ancient civilisations did not have much knowledge of the areas beyond their own country and generalize them to be hilly and difficult. (any 2)
