The correct answer is Ancient Egypt. The games were very different than what is played today as bowling, or different types of it, but the concept was the same, you would have a bunch of pins and a rolling ball and the goal was to put as many of them down as you can by rolling it.
The correct answer is: "people should hold their governments accountable".
The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe and was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in monarchs or rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.
Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new independent states based on the Enlightment principles like in Europe. <u>States where people elect governors and have the power to remove them if they do their job badly and, hence, those governors are accountable to their citizens. </u>

Answers:
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Christopher Columbus (1492)
- August 2, 1776
- The Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria
- The Meuse-Argonne Offensive (World War 1)
===================================================
Explanations:
- The capital would change places throughout the young history of the US before permanently moving to Washington D.C. This location is a sort of neutral ground between the north and south (note how it's fairly halfway between the two extremes).
- Despite Columbus discovering the Americas in 1492, the Vikings were actually before him. Though I have a feeling your teacher is leaning toward Columbus considering question 4 asks about that. Also, the Native Americans were already in the Americas when both parties discovered the continents, so it really depends on how you phrase the question.
- Many think that July 4th, 1776 was the date of signing, but this is likely not the case. The declaration started around this time window, but the actual signing process took place August 2, 1776.
- These three ships were the ones that first arrive in the Americas in 1492. Some scholars dispute that these were the official names of the ships and they may have had other names. I have a feeling your teacher will be leaning toward the answer I mentioned above.
- It probably depends on context. If you mean on American soil, then the deadliest civil war battle would be the Battle of Gettysburg (7,863 people killed). If you expand out the scope to include any American war, then the deadliest battle was The Meuse-Argonne Offensive during World War 1. About 26,277 people died during this battle. I'm defining "deadliest" in terms of the most number of people killed.
