<p>yea, fragmented states. i'm really getting practice tests confused w/ the real thing, but was there a question maybe on the mandate of heaven? comparing it to western things? and one of the choices was "the chinese version of the ten commandments?'</p>
<p>what is the chinese version of the ten commandments? haha</p>
<p>lol i dont know. i don't even think that was the right answer but i really cant remember the answer choices or the question specifically.</p>
<p>haha nah i think that may have been on a practice test.</p>
<p>i put artisians because i got confused w/ them and the byzantine... i figured the byzantine emp was involved with iconoclasm and all of that crap. and then the council of nicrene => rome declared it a heresy so i donno. i figured they hate artists because they portray stuff in art? i donnnooo</p>
<p>oops, sorry then. how many questions do we have now?</p>
<p>no, the roman catholic church had lots of art! just think about it-- the renaissance, particularly the northern renaissance....... ...... was... all about the church. And since the paintings are still hanging intact in places like the met, I would assume that the church was alright with it, and perhaps even supported it.</p>
<p>i just rememebred another one; we have 66.</p>
<p>dont know, i still think its artisans =)</p>
<p>please verify it before i put it on the answer sheet ..</p>
<p>teaching on usury was expressed by Pope Benedict XIV in his encyclical Vix Pervenit, which strictly forbids charging interest on loans, although he adds that "entirely just and legitimate reasons arise to demand something over and above the amount due on the contract" through separate, parallel contracts.</p>
<p>so moneylenders then?</p>
<p>but forbidding the charging of interest is not equivalent to them NOT LIKING moneylenders. THat actually means that they still TOOK the money from the moneylenders, right? Besides, don't nobles tend to be moneylenders? if you think about it, neither can be the answer, simply because they're restating the same choice.</p>
<p>... or i might be thinking of it the wrong way -_-</p>
<p>oh nevermind, moneylenders is the correct answer.
verification:
"claimed that the danger or threat allegedly posed by those a society once finds intolerable, like witches or moneylenders...."</p>
<p>idk. it just seemed to make the most sense out of all the answers. nobles usually bought positions in the church but i dk if they lent money too. moneylending i thought just automatically included huge amounts of interest or usury. i dont really remember how the question was phrased. so yeah, who knows? not me. :/</p>
<p>ah ok. good.</p>
<p>hehe any other Qs....</p>
<p>** we have.... 66 questions! ** :D and no life! well i guess that's a given, since we're all CCers.</p>
<p>that's pretty good if you think about it. being able to pull out 66 questions from a 95 question test. ;)</p>
<p>wasn't there also a question about which place did not start a river valley civilization? it was like china, india, mesopotamia, egypt and greece, i think. greece, hopefully.</p>
<p>greece, im pretty sure.</p>
<p>that was a question? whaat? i thought it was which place DID start the earliest or w/e..</p>
<p>well, 4 out of 5 places, as i remember, did start a river valley civilization, leaving greece. but there was another one where it was like, which was the first city to be created from a river valley something, where i put china which might have been wrong.</p>
<p>now that i think about it....it was which used agriculture first?</p>
