Answer 2

The correct answer to this question would be alternative A)"The government offered them bread and circuses."

The Roman Government kept the poor from rebelling by providing them with food, and also providing the population with circuses, or popular shows, to keep them entertained and maintain the illusion that they were happy, since they had food to eat and things to amuse themselves with.
