Your question is in reference to the beginnings of World War I. The answer is:
<h2>Germany felt threatened because Russia mobilized its forces on Germany's eastern borders.</h2>
Explanation/context:
The systems of alliances and military plans which were put in place before World War I presupposed a major war between the countries which were tied together with alliances. The Triple Entente had Britain, France and Russia as allies. Germany was part of a group of allies in opposition to the Triple Entente.
So here's what happened to start the Great War (World War I). When an Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian Empire threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented the Schlieffen Plan (drawn up by one of their generals), which called for them to go on attack vs. France. That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.
To begin with, a political machine is an organization in which an organization gains support via promising rewards to those who keep them in power. It's designed to keep a particular group in power by promising favors. Typically, immigrants who first arrived here were impoverished, so political machines became so successful because they would promise to set immigrants up with homes or jobs or food so long as they had their vote.
So in short:
Who: Organizations whose main goals were getting and keeping power.
What: They essentially bribed immigrants for their votes.
Why: Political Machines did this to stay in power.
Answer:
The Roman government wanted to keep the idle masses entertained because they knew that a large group of poor people was a major threat to their empire. Therefore, the Romans enjoyed many different forms of entertainment, most of which were free.

Answer:
C) enlightenment
Explanation:
The Enlightenment was a cultural and intellectual movement, primarily European, that was born in the mid-eighteenth century and lasted until the early nineteenth century. It was especially active in France, England and Germany, inspired profound cultural and social changes, and one of the most dramatic changes was the French Revolution. It was named in this way for its declared purpose of dissipating the darkness of the ignorance of humanity through the lights of knowledge and reason. The eighteenth-century is known, for this reason, as the Age of Enlightenment and the settlement of Faith in progress.
Enlightenment thinkers argued that human knowledge could fight ignorance, superstition, and tyranny to build a better world. The Enlightenment had a great influence on scientific, economic, political and social aspects of the time. This type of Humanist thinking expanded in the bourgeoisie and in a part of the aristocracy, through new means of publication and dissemination, as well as meetings, held at the home of wealthy people or aristocrats, in which intellectuals and politicians participated in order to expose and debate about science, philosophy, politics or literature.
