The BEST answer is:

d. Gautama believed that he could best help others by giving up his wealth.

While there certainly is truth to answer C (as selected by the other respondent), Siddhartha Gautama's view toward wealth was more than a passive realization that it did not bring happiness. Even more so it was an active view that translated into action, giving up one's wealth to benefit others. He said of wealth, "A kind man who makes good use of wealth is rightly said to possess a great treasure; but the miser who hoards up his riches will have no profit."

Siddhartha Gautama is known as "The Buddha" (the "Enlightened One"). The details about his life history are debated by scholars, but we know the historical personage of Siddhartha Gautama as a teacher in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BC. Buddhism is patterned after his teachings.

What case did George W. Bush make for invading Iraq as part of the War on Terror?

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

He claimed that Iraq provided support for al-Qaeda and was dangerous because it possessed weapons of mass destruction

Explanation:

Bush and his administration had set their sights on Iraq and invading it and they made several claims to support their invasion. Some of the claims were that Iraq is supporting al-Qaeda, and that the country is developing weapons of mass destruction.

In practice, the situation was different, and the claims made by Bush were totally false. While Saddam Hussein was indeed a dictator and cruel leader that also opposed the United States, he did not supported al-Qaeda, as al-Qaeda wanted to take over the country if presented with the opportunity and create an Islamic Caliphate. Also, the UN representatives that were sent in Iraq and got full access to everything in the country, did not found any proof that the country has or produces weapons of mass destruction.

yarga [219]

What finally broke Europe out of the social structure it was in during the medieval era is known as the "Plague."

This is because the medieval era in Europe lasted between 500AD to 1400AD.

During this era, the emergence of the Plague, particularly the "Black Death" between 1347-1352 totally affected the social structure of Europe at that time.
