Answer:
The total land space of the Japanese islands is about 142,000 square miles. As you can see from map 2 and map 3, it is a very small country when compared with the vast Asian mainland, or with the United States, where it is smaller than the single, although large, state of California. It seems even smaller when you realize how little of its land is useful for agriculture or housing, as we will discuss below. China, the United States, and a few other giants of the world are the unusual ones, however. Japan does not seem so small when compared with some of the nations of Western Europe. It is, for example, larger than Italy. (See map 4).

Explanation:
A and B are both key characteristics. So is C, but it is important to note that although most women formed the chorus, men also did sing. D is untrue, as Greeks often watched tragic plays, which although weren't specifically to make them sad, they were expected to feel catharsis (pity and fear) so that they could then purify themselves to renew and restore their emotions and themselves.
Answer:
An example that shows how Romans gave away citizenship rights in measured amounts can be seen when we look at the difference between the Latini and the Foederati.
The Latini were people who were born outside of Rome but on the Italian peninsula. Their citizenship allowed them to do business with Rome, and travel and live within the Empire. However, they were not allowed to have a Roman marriage. The Foederati, on the other hand, were the citizens of states that had obligations towards Rome. They were given limited citizenship rights in exchange for military service.
Explanation:
In 1945, the ROC took control of Formosa (Taiwan), the Pescadores (Penghu) and other nearby islands, under the direction of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers. In September 1952, Japan officially renounced its right to Taiwan in the Treaty of San Francisco without explicitly stating the sovereignty status of Taiwan, and hence some people believe that the sovereignty of Taiwan is still undetermined.
In addition, the situation can be confusing because of the different parties and the effort by many groups to deal with the controversy through a policy of deliberate ambiguity. The political solution that is accepted by many of the current groups is the perspective of the status quo: to unofficially treat Taiwan as a state and at a minimum, to officially declare no support for the government of this state making a formal declaration of independence.
