History

Answer:  A.  Greek

I might add a little detail to this.  Ever since the conquests of Alexander the Great  in the 4th century BC, the Meditarranean world in general experienced "Hellenization." Or we might call it "Greekification."  The <em>koine </em>(that is "common") Greek language became a common language throughout the lands where Alexander had cast his influence.  When the Romans took over those lands, Greek remained a commonly spoken language.  So Latin was the official language of the Roman empire and Romans themselves were native Latin speakers.  But Greek had become the language of international commerce.  When the New Testament was written in the early AD era, it was written in Greek for that reason.  

So, in the Western Roman Empire, Latin remained spoken, but with Greek spoken alongside it.  In the Eastern (or Byzantine) empire, Greek was predominantly spoken, while Latin remained known by educated persons, especially in government.  And Greek did become the official language of the Byzantine Empire by the time of emperor Justinian.  Justinian's famous law code, the <em>Corpus Iurus Civilis ("Body of Civil Law") </em>was published in both Greek and Latin editions.

Thousands of words were introduced to the english language during the elizabethan age. how were the new words developed? select
swat32

Answer:

They were made up.

Explanation:

The Elizabethan Era existed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and the language of the time was much different than today's English language.

Many words used in the Elizabethan language are  no longer in use. Other words have replaced them or the original meaning and use of the words are no longer required

An amusing example of words now 'extinct' in the modern English language is 'gong'. The Elizabethan word 'gong' meant dung. The men whose job was to empty and dispose of the waste from the privies (toilets) were called 'Gong Farmer.

The number of words used in the Elizabethan Language were constantly developing during Elizabethan times - their vocabulary was expanding.

The Elizabethan language and vocabulary had not been formalized. New words were being invented. Elizabethan dictionaries were not available. Elizabethan words were therefore written in a variety of different formats.
