Answer:

The king is not the most important piece because it is rarely used, like in the feudal system, where his knights and peasants do most of the work, like knights and pawns on a chess board.

Explanation:

All you need is some knowledge about chess, and feudalism.

In feudal Europe, the monarchy (mainly the king) gave out pieces of land to nobles and aristocrats and taxed them. They would then live in the land, and give it out to knights and peasants. The peasants would be taxed in money and crops in return for the housing and farmland. The knights would generally be given more land, but not by much, and they would protect the land they live on, and if called on by the king, would leave and protect the kingdom. The king got rich, while his pawns worked and died in his name.

Valentin [98]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question has no options, references, or time context, we can say that it refers to the marches of Mexican students in East Los Angeles in the 1960s. By 1967, Racism, bad school conditions, and lack of opportunities for Mexican students in Los Angeles made students organize marches and protest to demand a real change.  The school system agreed to hold meetings with students and parents to hear their concerns. The above-mentioned issues came up and the changes that occurred because of the direct actions by the students and families were an open line of communication with school authorities and immunity for the students that had participated in the marches.  The Educational Issues Coordinating Committee accepted conversations about education reform, and the students could return to classes.

It really helped that teachers like Sal Castro had supported students such as Moctezuma Esparza and Paola Crisóstomo.

Which of the following was a key in the growth of the empire of Meroe?
Leokris [45]

The correct answer is It expanded trade to include Greek, Roman, Arab, and Indian merchants.

Meroe's founders were Cousites, or Ethiopians. Mural paintings and sculptures clearly show their African characteristics. Egyptian culture left its mark on Méroe, but near the end of the second millennium BCE, Ethiopia broke free from Egypt's control.

In the latter part of the eighth century BCE, Ethiopia really conquered Egypt and dominated it for about 60 years. So, while many imagine that Egypt was the only empire to emerge from Africa, this is not true. One of the Ethiopian rulers during the eighth century BCE, King Tiraca, is even mentioned in the Bible.
