I disagree. It was to reinforce the Roman religion, or else a religious rite of some other religion would have been sufficient, not just to the Roman gods. Remember, Rome’s chief complaint about Christians wasn’t that they believed in Christ, but that they did not worship the Roman Emperors. Thus, choice A, about wanting to show the dominance of the Roman religion, was correct.</p>
<p>^I also answered A, though I’m pretty sure it’s not about the Roman religion dominance. More like confirming?</p>
<p>Yes but didn’t Rome tend to be accepting of other religions for the most part? To me the first answer didn’t make that clear; it seemed like it was trying to force all Romans to follow one strict traditional religion. Also, the first answer made no mention of Christianity in it.</p>
<p>Also, why did you say the Indian passage supported Ashoka being a prosperous ruler? I knew that he was prosperous but I didn’t see how “a ruler strictly following those guidelines” would explain Ashoka’s prosperity.</p>
<p>No, it’s like confirming your allegiance by means of sacrifice. And it didn’t mention Christianity.</p>
<p>10-11 omits and 3 wrongs…</p>
<p>high 700s, not 800</p>
<p>Tributary empire was Ming dynasty China and Korea
Late middle ages Universities drew many teachings from Greek, Roman, and Arabic
The most powerful class in Roman Republic was landed aristocracy?
Main economic benefits of Crusades went to Italian states?
Islam did not spread to Mesoamerica</p>
<p>But the Romans didn’t touch Judaism right? That made me lean towards every religion but Christianity. I think I ended up omitting 4 or 5.</p>
<p>Yes, confirmed the dominance of the Roman religion. No mention of Christianity in the answer.</p>
<p>
I put that, but I was doubtful. I have heard Buddhism given as the reason for the prosperity under his rule.</p>
<p>
Diaspora.</p>
<p>How is that Roman answer confirmed? Right now we have 2 and 2…</p>
<p>I was also unsure of Ashoka’s too, though I finally I narrowed down the choices and chose the most likely one.,</p>
<p>Argh, I thought that with 10 omits I could still get an 800…</p>
<p>You could with 10 omits, but not with also getting 3 or more wrong. At least, its unlikely I think. Colleges (even the most competitive ones) view anything 770+ as the same score though-- theyre aware of chance error and everything.</p>
<p>What about the first Pan-African something? What did it NOT call for/want to achieve?</p>
<p>…Well then, let’s just hope it wouldn’t get any worse.
Anyone remembers the Columbus, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella question?</p>
<p>For the Columbus question I think I put that they funded his trip in hopes of getting new colonies/acquiring new land/gold or something along those lines.</p>
<p>With the Nanjing treaty Hong Kong was ceded to the Brits, right?</p>
<p>I said King Ferdiand and Queen Isabella sent out Columbus because they wanted to find a direct sea route to the East. </p>
<p>I said the Pan African Congress did not want to further trade with Europe</p>
<p>Agree with wagsthedog. Goodness, you guys remember lots of questions…</p>
<p>What confused me about the Treaty of Nanjing question was that it said they agreed to cede Hong Kong for 99 years from the date 1842… which did not add up correctly?</p>
<p>The Diaspora separated the Jewish state, but weren’t they still allowed to practice the faith? I think I over thought it.</p>
<p>According to Wikipedia, the Treaty of Nanking opened 5 ports and ceded Hong Kong, which were both answers. I put the ports as it said 99 years for HK, and HK only got independence like 10 years ago or something right?</p>
<p>I put papacy for benefit from Crudsades, which I think is wrong, and I changed my answer for most powerful class in Rome from landed aristocracy to wealthy freemen, not really sure why and is probably wrong.</p>
