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.

Airida [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The methods and roles of leaders and organizations in the movement for independence in the period between 1945 and 1975 were the following.

We are talking about countries such as Cuba, Vietnam, Israel. China, Ghana, and India.

So let's set the example of Cuba. Cuban leader Fidel Castro organized the Revolution in Cuba and deposed President Fulgencio Batista in January 1959, after six years of struggle on the island. The United States had supported president Batista, but the Cuban leader and the Communist forces were backed by the Soviet Union.

So we can say that Castro and other leaders of the time, showed the courage, determination, and character needed to organize his people and start independence movements to grant freedom for their respective countries, as was the case of Mahatma Gandhi in India, or Mao Zedong, in China.
