Answer:
A.) to convince the officials to support the interests group positions on relevant laws
Explanation:
Lobbying is a common practice in some countries, such as the USA; and prohibited in others, such as Brazil. This is because lobbyism refers to a group of people who seek to interfere in the decisions of the political body of a region, by imposing the influence that this group has. This influence may be explicitly veiled, but it has the power to manipulate the national political body so that the interests of the group are served. In other words, we can state that the lobbyists' goal is to convince government officials to support interest group positions on relevant laws
During the Classical Era, long-distance trade routes (Greece to China) were predominately land-based while some short-distance ones took place around Mediterranean and other seas (Egypt to Greece). Today's travel routes are <em>very </em>different as we have begun to use flight to get from point A to point B. Additionally, while the goal in the past was to connect Europe to Asia, today we seem more focused on connecting the Eastern Hemisphere with the Western Hemisphere and thus we look across the large oceans more so than was done in the Classical Era.
