Answer:

1. Constantinopole

2. Location and the walls

Explanation:

<u>The capital of the Byzantine Empire was called Constantinopole</u> (today it is Istambul). <u>It was proclaimed to be the capital by emperor Constantine the Great and got named after him</u>. It became capital in 324, while it was still known under the name of Byzantium and it fell under the Ottoman rule in 1453. The name was changed to Istambul in 1930.

For a long time, Constantinople was very hard to conquer before its final fall. The reasons for it are usually cited as the cities <u>great strategic location and its walls. </u>

<u>The location</u> <u>of the city was great and it was a key factor for making the capital there.</u> The city lies on the Bosporus, surrounded by the sea. This proved it suitable for trade as well as for protection. <u>It was easy to see who are the enemies coming by the ships from nearly all sides.</u> Army of Constantinopole had great advance in the defense this way.

<u>The city was also surrounded by </u><u>great walks on all sides, both towards the sea and the land</u><u>.</u> In the 5th century, there was even the second layer of walls built, making the city twice as protected and hard to conquer. The walls were very tall and thick. They still exist today in parts.

Directions: Write a paragraph explaining what life was like for people living in the South prior (before) the Civil War.
suter [353]

Explanation:

Life during the 1800s in America was already difficult for many people. Of course, there were rich factory owners in the North and plantation owners in the South, but the average farmer and his family worked extremely hard just to survive. When the Civil War started, living conditions became even more difficult for the average American. Many of the men joined the army or were drafted. The women were left at home to work the farm or to find jobs and support the family on their own. Poor Men Went to War Many poor men thought that fighting in the army was an opportunity for adventure and excitement. This seemed much better than the drudgery of the hard work of everyday life. They soon found out that war was both boring and terrifying. Both sides of the war eventually instituted a draft. This was when men were randomly chosen to enter the army whether they wanted to or not. However, the rich were able to legally avoid the draft. In the North, they could pay a fee of $300 or pay someone else to take their place. In the South, men who owned more than twenty slaves didn't have to fight. Women at Home With so many men gone to war, women had to take up new jobs. They worked the fields on farms and at factories producing goods for the armies. Some women served as nurses in the army, helping wounded soldiers recover. Women had to work very hard to provide for their families. Often not only their husbands were at war, but also their older sons and fathers. War in the South Life in the South during the Civil War was even more difficult than in the North. The Union had blockaded many of the ports of the South, causing shortages of food and other items that people needed. Also, most of the war took place in the South. Families lived in constant fear of getting overrun by an army. When General Sherman took the Union army from Atlanta to Savannah he burned and destroyed much of the land and farms along the way. It was a scary time.

Senator Baker: My opponent, Candidate Rothmore, has called for increased taxes to fund programs that help the long-term unemploy
oee [108]

Answer:

A) The first is a prediction about a recommendation the main argument opposes; the second is a conclusion drawn in order to support the main conclusion.

Explanation:

From the argument above by the two senators, it could be seen that the two Senators are argueing in favour and argainst the Tax. Senator Baker, was of the believe that his opponent, Senator Rothmore calling for increase in taxes to fund programs helps the long-term unemployed.

His argument was based soley on the unemployed without factoring in the small businesses that would be killed off as a result of the tax increment. The fall of small businesses would definitely affect the prediction he made about unemployed getting work. This is because, those unemployed can only work by the opportunities created by the small businesses.

Senator Baker only made the second conclusion inorder to support his argument on the need to lower taxes which would drive job creations thereby being a win-win situation for both the government and the citizens.
