Hello there.

Each of the following factors was a reason for Sargon’s conquest of Sumer except __________.

D.the Akkadians were able to hide in the mountains

Answer:

D.the Akkadians were able to hide in the mountains

Explanation:

The Akkadians did not use mountains as a tactical battle, instead, they used the desert on their favor. But for the most part, Sumer falls because of its instability and political division. It was not a conquest at all once the Akkadians and the Sumer people joint each other to build the Mesopotamian Empire.
