Answer:
“it represents instead an extreme form of vengeance”
“quite close to their original naïveté”
Explanation:
1. war machines and weapons.
"It had an iron frame... which came from the losing army's war machines."
2. The statue was huge is your best answer choice.
After all, the statue was 110 feet tall, which is quite a feat for a Ancient civilization.
3. Knees.
In the story, the statue snapped at the knees in 226 B.C.E because of an earthquake. This can typically suggest that it is the weakest part, especially as there were large amount of weight on top of it, and the strain of the sea's force as well as the weight from above weakened the area, making it the weakest part.
4. The statue of liberty is "a few feet taller", which suggests, as Helios is 110 feet tall, that the best answer is B) 120 feet. However, historically this is false. The Statue of Liberty is actually 305 feet, but for the sake of the question B) is your best answer.
5. They did not want to offend Helios by rebuilding the statue after it fell. Note: "An Egyptian king offered money to rebuild the statue, but the people of Rhodes said no. The people did not want to offend Helios again."

Answer:
They didn't reach an agreement <u><em>on account of</em></u> their differences.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the necessary word(s) to be put in the blank will be suggestive of the 'cause' of the first part of the sentence. While the first part contains the effect' of the 'cause', completing the whole sentence depends on the part or parts of the phrase needed.
The given options "on account of", "due", "because" or "owing" are all valid to be used in the given sentence. But considering the form and structure of the sentence, the blank will be filled by "on account of".
To use the other options, we would need to add more to the already given words. We cannot simply write "they didn't reach an agreement due/owing/because their differences." For "due" and "owing", it needs "to" to make the sentence whole. Likewise, "because" requires "of" to be usable. If we add these words to the already given words, then the sentence can become
they didn't reach an agreement due to/ because of/ owing to their differences. But these options are wrong as the words are incomplete.
Thus, the correct answer is "on account of".
<em><u>They didn't reach an agreement on account of their differences.</u></em>
