History

3 0

Answer:

A. To prove that the horse concealed an army of Greeks

Explanation:

Laocoon throws a spear at the wooden horse "to prove that the horse concealed an army of Greeks."

In the story of Aeneas that was written in the book of Aeneid. It was revealed that the Greeks at some point tried some trick on Trojans. One of which was the sending of a wooden horse as a gift of peace.

The gift was seen as a means of ending a ten years war rifts between them. Based on this, the Trojans agreed to accept the gift as they wanted peace.

However, Laocoon suspected the justification of sending the wooden horse and then threw a spear at the wooden horse to prove that the horse concealed an army of Greeks. This was after he had tried to convince Trojans of Greek trickery, but they refused to believe.

Which statement about opinion polls is most accurate
katovenus [111]

Opinion polls are made picking a portion of a population and asking them some questions about a given subject. These answers are, then, used to make an idea of what that population thinks about that subject.

The problem is the impossibility of asking the entire population what they think about the subject.

For example, 80% of the persons the poll interviewed agreed that studying is good as early as five years old. The opinion poll, then, will say 80% of the people from that location agreed to that studying starting from five years old is good. The persons asked totalize 5000, while the total population of that place is, for example, 100.000.

So, the statement that defines opinion pools is: opinion pools can give an idea of what a population thinks, but it might be misleading and can never be accurate enough.

How did climate affect the spread of early humans
3241004551 [841]
Ok, so say like you were in Africa. According to a website, it says that "the first wave of humans might have left Africa as much as 65,000 years." But the question is: Why? because it's not just global warming that's affecting all of us. It may be because of environmental differences. For instance, during the Arabian Peninsula period, there were "heavier rainfalls, more bodies of water, and vegetation."

Hope this makes sense to you! :-)
