In 1893, an excavation led by Wilhelm Dörpfeld uncovered an ancient city he believed to be Troy, the site of the war described i

n Homer's epic poem the Iliad. But that belief cannot be correct. In the Iliad, the Trojan War lasted ten years, but a city as small as the one uncovered by Dörpfeld's team could not have withstood a siege lasting ten years.
Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?A- In 1893, scholars knew of no other ancient city that could have been Troy.B- The Iliad does not provide any clues about the specific location of Troy.C- Dorpfeld's team found no evidence in the city they excavated that a siege had occurred there.D- The city excavated by Dorpfeld's team had many features that scholars of the time believed Troy had.E- The Iliad accurately represents the duration of the Trojan War.

Answer:

The correct answer is D: The city excavated by Dorpfeld's team had many features that scholars of the time believed Troy had.

Explanation:

The archeologists from the 19th century had no many pieces of evidence to follow, in many cases, just Homer's Iliad was the main resource, alongside Herodotus's Histories.

If we analyze each sentence, we can see that:

  • It cannot be Option A: they had no idea that the city could be Troy. In fact, the statement doesn't say anything about this point.
  • It cannot be Option B: in Homer's Illiad, Troy is described as a fortified city located near the Dardanelles.
  • It cannot be Option C: the text itself states clearly that they didn't found any evidence of a siege.

How did king James II treat the nobles
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

James II and VII (14 October 1633O.S. – 16 September 1701[1]) was King of England and Ireland as James II and King of Scotland as James VII,[3] from 6 February 1685 until he was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The last Roman Catholic monarch of England, Scotland and Ireland, his reign is now remembered primarily for struggles over religious tolerance. However, it also involved the principles of absolutism and divine right of kings and his deposition ended a century of political and civil strife by confirming the primacy of Parliament over the Crown.[4]

James inherited the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland from his elder brother Charles II with widespread support in all three countries, largely based on the principle of divine right or birth.[5] Tolerance for his personal Catholicism did not apply to it in general and when the English and Scottish Parliaments refused to pass his measures, James attempted to impose them by decree; it was a political principle, rather than a religious one, that ultimately led to his removal.[6]

In June 1688, two events turned dissent into a crisis; the first on 10 June was the birth of James's son and heir James Francis Edward, threatening to create a Catholic dynasty and excluding his Protestant daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange. The second was the prosecution of the Seven Bishops for seditious libel; this was viewed as an assault on the Church of England and their acquittal on 30 June destroyed his political authority in England. Anti-Catholic riots in England and Scotland now made it seem only his removal as monarch could prevent a civil war.[7]

Representatives of the English political elite invited William to assume the English throne; after he landed in Brixham on 5 November 1688, James's army deserted and he went into exile in France on 23 December. In February 1689, Parliament held he had 'vacated' the English throne and installed William and Mary as joint monarchs, establishing the principle that sovereignty derived from Parliament, not birth. James landed in Ireland on 14 March 1689 in an attempt to recover his kingdoms but despite a simultaneous rising in Scotland, in April a Scottish Convention followed their English colleagues by ruling James had 'forfeited' the throne and offered it to William and Mary. After defeat at the Battle of the Boyne in July 1690, James returned to France where he spent the rest of his life in exile at Saint-Germain, protected by Louis XIV.
