Which of the following best explains why Russia built a rail line in the early 1900s that connected its western and eastern bord

MAVERICK [17]

The correct answer is: "To take advantage of the many natural resources found in Siberia".

This was the main reason behind the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It connected the European part of Russia with the provinces located in the far east.

During the first World War, Russia suffered a blockade from Germany and Turkey. As a consequence of this, the Trans-Siberian Railway gained massive importance as it was a way of communication and sourcing between Russia and its eastern allies.

How did laws created by Justinian and Theodora affect Christians?

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Christians received protection.

Explanation:

During the reign of Justinian 1 and his wife Theodora, he established the Code of Justinian—the Corpus Juris Civilis, which serves as a guiding principle to the people during the period.

In the code, it was affirmed that Christians should be given special treatment, because they worship God correctly, while pagans or non-christian should face hardship or suffering.

It was also reported that he gave more legal rights to women and children

Hence, in this case, the right answer "Christians received protection."

Read the passage describing Achilles: "Thus while he roused the fire in every breast, Close and more close the listening cohorts

a_sh-v [17]

The extended simile in the passage is: As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, And round him wide the rising structure grows

A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the:

a. strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms

b. size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war.
