Answer 1

Answer:

These are the two correct answer choices:

A The modern map includes A land masses the ancient map does not show.

D The modern map shows the shapes of land masses more accurately than the ancient map.

Explanation:

The two answer choices above are closely related. Ancient maps often were less detailed than modern maps because ancient cartographers, geographers, and sailors had less technical tools to craft their maps.

Ancient maps were usually partial maps as well: they only showed specific geographical areas, while leaving other areas uncovered, simply because the authors did not even know what territories lied beyond certain geographical limits. For examples, the Ancient Greeks did not know of Subsaharan Africa, so their maps did not give account of that part of the world.
