Government and laws are the same thing. Here are the CORRECT characteristics:

Social Classes (came about due to specialization!)

Economy (this includes trade!)

Government (laws, legal policies, ways of ruling)

Religion

Writing

Political Boundaries (cities, empires, country boundaries, etc)

Art/Architecture

the reason why "advanced technology" is NOT characteristic of a civilization is because technology is the application of science to help control environment. This was happening in the Paleolithic Age. They had technology. Farmers in the Neolithic had advanced technology, Otzi the iceman had a copper axe during the Stone Age. Technology can be USED in any of these seven characteristics (awls were used by leather-workers, a particular social class; boats were used for trade, steles were used to display Hammurabi's Code, the stylus was used for writing, walls were used to delineate boundaries, Egyptians used pulley systems to build the pyramids). but it is not a characteristic in and of itself.

writing/record keeping, social classes, centralized government, advanced technology (apart from just sticks and stones), organized religion, specialized jobs and a code of laws

There are 5 characteristics of a civilization. Government - including a bureacracy and tax collection, Monumental Architecture, Involvement in the Arts and Sciences (shows division of labor and indicates stable food supply because basic needs are met), Written Language - can include hieroglyphic writing or even the quipu in the case of the Incas, Organized Religion, Trade w other cultures/civilizations.

Art, Religion, Government, Cities, Social Structure, & Writing.

^^^ That's wrong.

The 5 characteristics of a civilization:

Writing and record keeping

Complex Institutions:

- An organization of a public nature

- This includes religion, government, corporations, education, medicine, etc.

Cities:

- Centers of trade

Specialization of labor:

- Farmers, Engineers, preists, soldiers, etc.

Advanced technologies:

- This characteristic is run by the specialization of labor

In order to fully understand this, you must first understand the formation of a civilization. Before the neolithic revolution(~10000 BC) humans were hunter-gatherers which means they were nomadic and would travel in small groups to find food. When agriculture was discovered, the nomadic people were able to settle down in a single location and wait for their food to grow. This gave people more time to have other jobs. When the people have a surplus of resources, they can finally expand and start a civilization.

Primarily, as the word implies, a significant part of the population living in towns and cities. This usually implies significant literacy as well.
