Answer: C. 1)a conquering force, 2) a refusal to acquiesce, 3) a
campaign, 4) surrender
Explanation:
The passage is not included however this should be the correct answer as it is the most logical.
It would make sense that a kingdom or empire was facing off against a conquering force but they refused to acquiesce and accept the authority of the conquering force.
The conquering force then embarked on a campaign against the said kingdom or empire and defeated them which then induced the empire to surrender.
I would definitely go with C. a topic sentence. While A. is never a bad idea, essay paragraphs tend to get marked as off topic if there is not a topic sentence. Hope this is helpful!
