Answer:In “Marigolds” Lizabeth has one major change. She grows up and is no longer a child. At the beginning of the story, she remarks on the innocence of the children. She says,
“…. we were somewhat unaware of the world outside our community” (pg 1)
She knew that something was happening to her because she no longer enjoyed the childish games of the past. She reflects that she had,
“…a strange restlessness of body and of spirit, a feeling that something old and familiar was ending and something unknown and therefore terrifying was beginning.” (pg 1)

8. </span>Weakening of the Roman legions: <span>Rome’s military was the envy of the ancient world. But during the decline, the makeup of the once mighty legions began to change.

The ranks of the legions eventually swelled with Germanic Goths and other barbarians, so much so that Romans began using the Latin word “barbarus” in place of “soldier.” While these Germanic soldiers of fortune proved to be fierce warriors, they also had little or no loyalty to the empire, and their power-hungry officers often turned against their Roman employers. In fact, many of the barbarians who sacked the city of Rome and brought down the Western Empire had earned their military stripes while serving in the Roman legions.
