1. war machines and weapons.
"It had an iron frame... which came from the losing army's war machines."
2. The statue was huge is your best answer choice.
After all, the statue was 110 feet tall, which is quite a feat for a Ancient civilization.
3. Knees.
In the story, the statue snapped at the knees in 226 B.C.E because of an earthquake. This can typically suggest that it is the weakest part, especially as there were large amount of weight on top of it, and the strain of the sea's force as well as the weight from above weakened the area, making it the weakest part.
4. The statue of liberty is "a few feet taller", which suggests, as Helios is 110 feet tall, that the best answer is B) 120 feet. However, historically this is false. The Statue of Liberty is actually 305 feet, but for the sake of the question B) is your best answer.
5. They did not want to offend Helios by rebuilding the statue after it fell. Note: "An Egyptian king offered money to rebuild the statue, but the people of Rhodes said no. The people did not want to offend Helios again."

Answer:
limit funding for executive activities
reject presidential nominees
Explanation:
The principle of checks and balances within the three arms of government; Judiciary, Legislature and Executive was created so that no arm of the government would have too much power and each arm of government can check and balance each other.
This created what is called separation of powers and in this, the executive can limit some powers of the judiciary, or legislature, and vice versa.
Some of the roles of the legislature in checking the power of the executive branch include limit funding for executive activities and rejection of presidential nominees.
