"I am quite certain that . . . (Rome) would never have been able to be so great had not the immortal gods been placated."
–Cicero, from The Nature of the Gods
According to Cicero, what was the reason why Rome was so great?
A.
The government adopted Judaism.
B.
They believed in only one god.
C.
The government was a republic.
D.
They had made the gods happy
Is it A?
I believe that it is D
The correct answer is D. The Romans had to have made the gods happy in order to have a great city. Without satisfying the gods, they would most likely put a curse on the Romans for not honoring them.
yes, same
yes A sis
Thanks!
THEN WHAT DO YOU THINK
blabla
Ms. Sue please don't be rude. The answer is D.
opps sorry for all caps
I changed my answer, is it C?
Is it C?
Did you go back and reread the quotation and the question? If you had done so, the answer would be obvious.
Or think of it this way: Which of those answer choices don't make sense, given Cicero's words?
Neither A nor C. We've checked two of your guesses. You're on your own now. Please do not post this question again.
Are you both just messing around? Or are you serious??
If you're serious, then you really should take some lessons in reading comprehension.
Please re-think.
