History

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Even though Constantinople and the surrounding lands were under the

control of a Muslim ruler, the people were allowed to practice their own

religions. The sultan Mehmed II even allowed the Orthodox Church to

operate and maintain its autonomy to accept Ottoman rule. Due to

Western states' conflict at the time, most of the Orthodox Christian

population welcomed Ottoman rule and protection.

The Ottoman Empire continued to expand in the fifteenth and sixteenth

centuries. Mehmed's grandson, Selim the Grim, defeated the Safavids,

who had controlled Persia. He then moved east and went on to conquer

Syria and Palestine and marched to conquer North African lands.

Finally, Selim conquered Cairo in Egypt. The Ottoman Empire was at its

greatest extent under Selim's son, Suleyman. Suleyman expanded the

empire into Hungary and Austria and closed his grip on the

Mediterranean. At its height, the empire wrapped around the

Mediterranean Sea and grew to dominate trade throughout the region,

connecting Western Europe to Northern Africa and Central Asia. These

regions had significant river systems that benefited both agricultural

production and the transport of products. Interestingly, the Ottoman

Empire's control of trade between the West and the East motivated

Portugal to seek alternative trade routes, which eventually took them to

the Americas.

What urban problems discussed in your textbook does riis touch upon in this passage?
antoniya [11.8K]
First of all, the passage mentions street children by saying "children pitching pennies" and "kicks and cuffs are their daily diet". Also, pollution is touched in this passage as it mentions "summer stenches" which are bad smells that come because of urbanization and the drains that have foul smells (hence they mention "sink").  We also see how neighborhood noises and noisy people from all around the area show up in urbanized areas because of cramped spaces. Hence, quarreling is mentioned here as well as instances of profanity.
