Answer 1

First question is False



Second question is D , I don't think anyone could exit if they were going to loose, gladiators fought to the death.



Third question is A, I used the elimination method. Alexander the Great was not during the Roman period (I think) Aztecs never got that far... they were in Mexico. I don't think Julius Caesar's death had anything to do with that.



Fourth Question is A, Once again I used the elimination method because I don't exactly know what a Legalist form of government is. But I'm sure the answer is A because Liu Bang was the first emperor of the Han dynasty so B is correct, Confucianism was promoted, because it was a criteria of the civil service examination. and D, the civil service system was developed so scholars could become officials of court so the answer left is A.

Answer 2

False. the suffering of which buddhism speaks is created due to desire.

C. Gladiators and animals wer held below ground and raised on lifts. (This is the only one I don't agree with Persephone, the question means spectators, and the colosseum could be emptied in five minutes)

A. Definitely, actually it was a mixture of imperialism and fear of Carthage, but definitely A.



Sorry but I can't answer the last one, I don't really know anything about China and would only end up Googling or Wikiing for the answer, which I don't like to do cold. I don't mind using them for reminders of details on subjects about which I already know things, but I have studied all the others and can speak with some (tenuous) authority.

Answer 3

No, but in another country I was pushed down the stairs for a cheap thrill. It wasn't worth it - Yugoslavian hospital food is awful... The internet cafes aren't great either.
