Question

Read the following paragraph and answer the question below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ravenna, Italy, has become a less important cultural and political center than it was in the past

reason:

judging by the end of the paragraph, it does not sound like Ravenna is as much of a cultural and political center than it has been in the past. Also, while it’s swampy location may very well have led to its decline in popularity, the paragraph does not directly state that it was the sole reason for Ravenna’s downfall.
