The Minoan civilization came before the Mycenaean civilization. Minoan was also highly advanced and by all accounts a peaceful people who dominated the Aegean by trade rather then war. Mycenaean came later and were a very war oriented people, most notably in Homers Iliad. A similarity would be that they were both sea faring and great sailors along with they were the foundation for early Greek culture.

I would choose " Both had a society that revolved around the palace. " because a number of the minoan linear-a signs have not been deciphered and the phaistos disk still has not been convincingly deciphered. as for "a", the mycenaean language was an archaic greek dialect; however, the minoan language is still debated as what it could be. most agree that it is a pre-hellenic Aegean language.
