Rome+and+Greece+Test+Corrections

= If you have a question you really need answered, make a discussion post requesting it. All that needs to be answered here is why the correct answer for a question is correct along with the page number in the book that covers it. If you really need to know why the answer you put was wrong, I suggest making a discussion post, but explaining why every wrong answer was wrong on here would take too much time. =

1. B) questioning- Socratic method= questioning knowledge in a way to understand it better (p.__)__ 2.  3.  4.  5. B) The Punic Wars were fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 to 146 BCE. There were three different wars and the last one resulted in the total destruction of Carthage. (pg. 71) 6. 7.  8.  9.  10.  11. B) Pure democracy is where everybody (everybody who's eligible to vote that is) votes on issues and decisions are made based on the majority vote. There are no representatives that vote for the masses, which is why it is fundamentally different from representative democracy. In Athens, decisions were made at assemblies where all the citizens would attend. (pg. 73) 12.  13.  14.  15.  16.  17.  18.  19. E) The western half of the Roman Empire was the first to fall. Disease killed off large portions of the population, and the smaller population hurt the economy because less taxes could be collected. They were also invade by the Huns and other Germanic tribes. On top of all that, most of their leaders were corrupt and cared more about personal gain than trying to fix all of Rome's problems. With that being said, land reforms were the least of their troubles. (pg. 96-100) 20. D) Greek language and culture became unifying force from the Indus Valley to Egypt- languages in those areas are closely related (some words are pronounced similarly in the region, etc); culture- Greek style sculptures (statue of Buddha in the book in the chapter about classical India religion), ... (p. ) 21. B) Both Judaism and Christianity believe in "substitutionary atonement" as a means of salvation. Substitutionary atonement is when something else pays for your sins, and is usually the sacrifice of an animal. According Jewish beliefs, on Passover, you would sacrifice a lamb to atone for your sins. Also, when Adam and Eve were forced to leave the Garden of Eden, God killed a goat to atone for their sin. (Lecture) 22. 23.  24.  25.  26.  27.  28.  29.  30.  31.  32.  33.  34.  35.  36.  37.  38.  39.  40. C) Sparta's fear of the growing power of Athens- Athens was dominating the Delian League (alliance between Greek city states against the Persians in the 400's BC), Sparta was getting jealous (in a sense) = cause of the Peloponnesian War. (p.__)__  41.  42.  43. D) Mars- There's a whole story behind how that happened, please don't make me say the whole thing on this... but the reason why it's correct is because the Romans said so when they passed on the myth, so the myth itself makes it the correct choice. (p. ) 44. 45.  46.  47.  48.  49.  50.  51.  52.  53. B) Nero- 37-68 AD: As one example, he is said to have enjoyed burning Christians for light garden/courtyard at night. Possibly just a myth, but if you remember it that way, you'll never forget. In this case, the 'first is the worst' rhyme actually applies.  54.  55.  56.  57.  58.  59.  60.  61.  62.  63.  64.  65.  66.  67.  68.  69.  70.
