They are living in the middle ages back in the 17th century. We are in 2017, their spirit is with them in the middle ages and they communicate between centuries to say such thing.

Have a nice day :) 

But people believed the Earth is flat because everywhere you go you see a flat ground when we are supposed to be seeing a curve in the ground here and there. But is just our eyes, and we cannot see across a horizon for ever. if the Earth was flat we would see China standing from the United States with a good telescope.

People think the earth is flat because it seems hard to fathom that you can still stay on the earth if you're on the North Pole. This theory, that the earth is flat, was well known for hundreds of years. The vikings were the first to figure out that the earth is not flat, though Christopher Columbus gets the credit.  
Hope this helps! Have a happy holiday!

Mussolini’s rise to power depended largely on his ability to
Pani-rosa [81]
First question: he started making alliances after coming to power and a war did happen,  so we have to choose amog the two other options:
 
give powerful and persuasive speeches
create industry and employment where none existed

I find that they're both true and that an even better answer would be that he gave people huge promises of making Italy great again.

If I can choose only one option, then "speeches" is better, since the other one required him to be in power already to do

second question: while the last option did happen, as minorities were persecuted, the major mechanism of keeping the population in control was controlling resistance, so the correct answer is the first one.
