Afghanistan, Syria and Turkey are the countries that were involved with the Persian Empire. (I learned this in 6th grade/social studies)
I think it is the last answer choice
Renaissance means "rebirth". After the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD, all of Europe was plunged into the Dark Ages, a time when education and intelligence was lost, and people sought solace in the idea that anything that they couldn't explain, like the solar system, was simply the work of God.
It was during the Renaissance that science and intellectual thinking finally started to make a comeback.
So, the answer is B.
The Past Teaches Us About the Present
Because history gives us the tools to analyze and explain problems in the past, it positions us to see patterns that might otherwise be invisible in the present – thus providing a crucial perspective for understanding (and solving!) current and future problems.
Indigenous peoples made significant social progress, experienced a reduction in poverty levels in several countries and gained improved access to basic services during the boom of the first decade of the century, but they did not benefit to the same extent as the rest of Latin Americans, according to a new World Bank study. The study notes that thanks to a combination of economic growth and good social policies, poverty of indigenous households decreased in countries like Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Ecuador, while in others, such as Ecuador, Mexico and Nicaragua, the educational gap that for decades excluded indigenous children was closed. However, the report points out that, despite these gains, many gaps remain, as indigenous peoples continue to be confronted with glass ceilings and structural barriers that limit their full social and economic inclusion. While indigenous peoples make up 8 percent of the population in the region, they represent approximately 14 percent of the poor and 17 percent of the extremely poor in Latin America. Also, they still face challenges to gain access to basic services and the adoption of new technologies, a key aspect of increasingly globalized societies.
