<p>D) tea, silk, and porcelain</p>
<p>What civilization was initially responsible for the unification of the Middle East, Asia Minor (modern Turkey), and the Iranian plateau?<br>
A. Rome

In the eighth century CE, identify the city that became the center of trade along the Silk Road.<br>
A. Venice<br>
B. Timbuktu<br>
C. Calicut<br>
D. Baghdad</p>
<p>I’d say D. Persia. They came before Rome, Egypt never had all of that area, and came way before the Ottoman Empire.</p>
<p>Edit: I’d guess D. Baghdad based upon the time alone although not as sure.</p>
<p>What statement accurately compares the government of the Han
dynasty with that of the Roman Republic?</p>
<p>A) Power in the Han dynasty was concentrated in a centralized
bureaucracy dominated by Confucian scholars while power in
the Roman Republic was shared among the major landowning
families of Rome.
B) Power in the Han dynasty rested solely with the emperor while
in Rome all citizens were able to express their opinions and
influence government.
C) Power in the Han dynasty was concentrated in a centralized
bureaucracy dominated by Confucian scholars while in the
Roman Republic all citizens shared power in governmental
decisions.
D) Power in the Han dynasty rested in the hands of the military
generals and their successors, who had helped defeat the previous Qin dynasty, while power in the Roman Republic rested in
the hands of legion commanders and provincial governors</p>
<p>yeah:Baghdad became the center of Islamic power as trade routes shifted to the new capital during the Abbasid caliphate.</p>
<p>I would have to say D again because the Song and Tang traded with the Abbasids which had their capital at Baghdad.</p>
<p>erm I’d say A? B and D are definitely not correct and it was Athens, Greece, not Rome who had the first republic</p>
<p>Yes.
What statement best explains how Greek and Roman learning was
preserved during the Middle Ages in Europe?</p>
<p>A.Monasteries saw it as their mission to copy all of the older texts
of the Greek and Roman philosophers.
B.The works of Greek and Roman philosophers were preserved
by both the Byzantine and the Islamic civilizations.
C.The Roman Catholic Church maintained extensive libraries of
Greek and Roman works throughout Europe.
D.The collapse in Western Europe was not so great as to cause a
shutdown of universities at the major population centers.</p>
<p>B^?</p>
<p>Here’s a good question (that I created):
Other than Han and post-Han dynastic China, which of these used Civil Service Examinations at some point?

C) Byzantine Empire
D) Mali Empire</p>

<p>B</p>
<p>Doesn’t it have to do with interactions between different cultures? </p>

<p>@amgopwer62 yes it is B and does have to do with interactions</p>
<p>@dumbandlethal I think I saw this in a textbook somewhere, im taking a guess and going with C?</p>
<p>I would say C byzantine for that one… Is it correct? </p>
<p>Sent from Samsung Galaxy S3 because iPhones suck</p>
<p>Actually scratch my question… </p>
<p>Like I said, I made the question. The answer <em>was</em> B, Ottoman Empire, because they used Civil Service Exams under Suleiman, but…</p>
<p>I just found a source now that hints that the Byzantines used an exam system like it at one point. Just remember for sure that Suleiman did it I guess.</p>
<p>Too many of those questions you posted were from the Princeton Review book, so I didn’t learn anything from it.</p>
<p>Get to sleep people, eat a bagel in the morning, and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Night all, and good luck :D</p>
