Answer:
The political condition of the kingdom has great influence over the religious beliefs of the Egyptian people.
Explanation:
Politically, Egypt during the Old kingdom was a polytheistic theocracy. The kings, called as Pharoahs, ruled as agents of God. But after the unification of Egypt under the Old Kingdom, the political as well as guardian deities came to be fused together. The worship of the sun god Re/ Ra became the official state religion, embodying righteousness, justice and truth, defending the moral order. The beliefs or worship of gods are greatly influenced by the political changes in the kingdom. For example, when the capital was shifted to Memphis in 3000 B.C., Ptah became the state god, Aten when On (Heliopolis) was capital, and Neith, a Sais goddess became the deity during the seventh century and so on. Therefore, the worship or deity depends on where the capital was and accordingly, the state deities are decided.
Answer:
D). A surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area.
Explanation:
As per the given excerpt from president Roosevelt's 8 December 'Infamy Speech', option D displays the phrase that demonstrates president's point of view regarding the relationship between the US and Japan before the deliberate attack made by Japanese on American 'naval and air forces'. This phrase displays that how Roosevelt viewed their relationship with the Japanese who intentionally brought offensive in the disguise of surprise throughout the pacific area despite America's peace solicitation and their reply involved speaking for themselves even when they had a 'premeditated invasion' for them. Roosevelt clearly declares that they would take all the necessary actions in their defense as their peace proposal was entirely taken for granted by Japan. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.
