So I failed a history test, and one of the quesitons that I can't find the "right" answer to is the following. It is about The Apology involving Socrates. Apparently C is the wrong answer. Can anyone tell me the correct answer with something the back it up? I need the test correction points. Her tests are ridiculous. Thank you.

32. What truth does Socrates get from Meletus?
a. Which politician accused Socrates of corrupting the youth
b. Who/what the improver of youth is
c. Who the wisest of Greece is
d. What the oracle told the court

B!!!!!!


I believe that is the answer.


That is the worst multiple guess question devised on the planet earth.


"TCome hither, Meletus, and let me ask a question of you. You think a great deal about the improvement of youth?

Yes, I do.

Tell the judges, then, who is their improver; for you must know, as you have taken the pains to discover their corrupter, and are citing and accusing me before them. Speak, then, and tell the judges who their improver is. Observe, Meletus, that you are silent, and have nothing to say. But is not this rather disgraceful, and a very considerable proof of what I was saying, that you have no interest in the matter? Speak up, friend, and tell us who their improver is.

The laws."


WHERE ARE MY THANX?

Oh my god thanks, I wasn't about to read that all over again. I would rather twist a fork up my ass.

I tried to Google it, but whenever I did it would only bring up the piece, not the answer. I tried using "find" but it didn't work. But thanks :)

Isn't this a trick question? It doesn't seem Meletus has given him any truth, but simply an opinion without any evidence or argument.

Yeah her tests are fucking wacked. She's a bitch, I don't like her. Here's another question I couldn't figure the answer out:

29. Alexander the Great’s conquests had all of the following effects except:
a. Creation of the Alexandrian Empire across the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Southwest Asia that created political unity for three centuries
b. Spread of Hellenism as a widely influential set of philosophical and spiritual ideas
c. Significant expansion of commerce along established trade routes and development of new trade routes
d. Evolution of the teachings of the Buddha into a religious system

It's apparently not D. I'm thinking B but I'm probably wrong. I read that there was an Alexandrian Empire, but I couldn't compare the dates because I didn't know how they worked. And then for C I thought of the Silk Road, but I don't know if he started that.

This really is useless shit that I am being fed. I am going to wipe my ass with my notes when I am done with this class.

Process of elimination.

It isn't A, B, D

So I guess it is C.

But it seems that C would occur naturally during a conquest. Pfft...shitty professor.


Are you single?:D

The truth he believes himself to have extracted through Meletus is that the charges brought against him are nonsensical because they essentially state that Socrates both believes and disbelieves in the gods. In other words, he claims to have found a contradiction in their allegations.

Your teacher's a 'tard, sweetheart.

The first major step in opening the Silk Road between the East and the West came with the expansion of Alexander the Great's empire into Central Asia.

But new ones might not have been created.
