Two mountain ranges, the Alps and the Apennines, helped to protect Rome from invasion. ... Any army attempting to attack Rome would be at risk of attack from the other side of the mountains.

The correct answer is A) The space shuttle program has come to an end.
The author thinks that the time may now be right to focus on ocean research because the space shuttle program has come to an end.
The main argument for the author to support ocean exploration is that he considered that the space shuttle program of NASA had already ended in 2011. Too much money -billions of dollars- had been invested in the space program, and now it was time to enter the unknown territories of the oceans.
The author is probably right. We do not much about oceans and what could be under the sea. That is a real mystery. We have explored enough about the space, according to our possibilities and limitations, but practically the ocean is unknown. So ocean exploration would be a real challenge.
1. The conflict began after Athens and Eretria gave assistance to the Ionians in their rebellion against Persia and its ruler, Darius.
Answer:
In explanation.
Explanation:
The International Date Line is an imaginary line set up by the people, and it is needed so that the people manage to organize the time more properly on the whole planet.
This line is halfway through on the other side of the planet from the Prime Meridian, also known as the Greenwich Meridian, so since the Prime Meridian is at 0 longitude, the International Date Line is roughly at 180 degrees of longitude.
As I said, roughly 180 degrees of longitude, so this line is not a straight one, but instead it moves a bit in both eastern and western direction at certain places. The reason why it is not straight is because it follows the borders of the countries located in the Pacific through which it passes or touches their borders, in order to not divide their time.
