C. Roanoke

Also known as the Lost Colony it was established in 1585.
An estimated 115 English settlers had come to Roanoke island, along with relatives of John White who became the governor of the new colony.
John White left for England to gather supplies, but couldn’t come back to Roanoke until three years later at 1590 due to a naval battle that postponed his return.
When he arrived back at the island, there was no trace of inhabitants, but only a single word carved into a wooden post/tree—
“croatoan”

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition a person who takes power by force and rules with total author

topjm [15]

According to the Cambridge and Merriam-Webster dictionaries, a person who takes power by force and rules with total authority is a dictator. A dictator is not elected by the people, and extends his powers into the private lives of the people. He usually enjoys a cult of personality throughout the nation. An example of dictator would be Hitler in Germany between 1933 and 1945.

You should bear in mind that there are two other words which could fit this definiton, with some nuance:

if this ruler uses its unlimited power unfairly and/or cruelly, it is a tyrant;

if this ruler came to power through elections which he rigged, and simply rules without any political opposition, it is an autocrat.
