Correct answers:

  • B. He moved his court from Paris to Versailles, where he and his courtiers lived in splendor and excess.
  • C. He believed he had received his authority from God and did not have to share power with anyone.

Details/context:

Louis XIV is a hugely important historical figure.  He was on the throne as king in France from childhood to his old age; he ruled from 1643 to 1715. He was known as the Sun King because all important activity in France basically revolved around him.  Important activity meant that of the ruling classes -- not the struggles of the common people.  It was one of Louis XIV's goals to keep the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power, so he lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him. That way he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces.  They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands.  And the people in the provinces were neglected.

Louis XIV also subscribed to the idea of the "divine right of kings." That belief was summed up succinctly by Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, who was court preacher at the royal court of Louis XIV.  Bossuet said that monarchy "is sacred, it is paternal, it is absolute … the royal throne is not that of a man but the throne of God himself."  The claim of kings' divine right meant their authority could not be challenged because they were put in their office by God and were to be respected as God's sovereign representatives.

Which statements correctly describe something about resources?
Mkey [24]

The dictionary defines resources as the set of elements available to solve a need or carry out a business. There are several types of resources. Two large categories are those of renewable and non-renewable resources. The non-renewable exist in fixed quantities, nature can not recreate them in short geological periods. Renewable natural resources, on the other hand, can be restored by natural processes at a speed higher than that of consumption by human beings.

In a company we can talk about human, financial, material, technical and technological resources.

1- The human resource is paramount in the operation of any company. And it depends on the management and operation of other resources. (employees and collaborators who work there)

2- Financial resources: they are the own and foreign resources of economic and monetary character that the company requires for its operation.

3- Material resources: tangible assets of the company (facilities, equipment, raw material)

4- Technical and technological resources: Tools and auxiliary instruments in the coordination of other resources.
