1. the problem was __. it caused rome to fall because __.
2. one problem that contributed to the fall of rome was __ which caused . this problem is important because it shows how __ weakened the empire.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of the fall of Rome and the given table:

Step 1: Understand the "Problem" Column

The "Problem" row says: "the military was not loyal and cause more problems" (likely a typo, intended as "the military was not loyal and caused more problems").

Step 2: Analyze Question 1 ("The problem was ____")

From the "Problem" column, the military’s disloyalty (switching sides, per "Effect" column: "Military often switching sides with was complicated") was the core issue. So the problem was the military’s lack of loyalty (and resulting complications).

Step 3: Analyze Question 2 ("It caused Rome to fall because ____")

A disloyal military (switching sides, causing chaos) would undermine Rome’s ability to defend itself or maintain order, weakening the empire’s stability. Thus, it caused Rome to fall because a disloyal military weakened Rome’s defense and governance.

Step 4: Analyze the Last Sentence ("This problem is important because it shows how ____ weakened the empire")

The problem (military disloyalty) shows how internal military instability (or disloyalty) weakened the empire.

Filling in the Blanks (Example Answers):

1. The problem was \(\boldsymbol{\text{that the military was not loyal (and caused complications)}}\).
2. It caused Rome to fall because \(\boldsymbol{\text{the disloyal military weakened Rome’s ability to govern/defend itself}}\).
3. This problem is important because it shows how \(\boldsymbol{\text{military disloyalty (or internal military issues)}}\) weakened the empire.

(Note: Answers depend on interpreting the handwritten table. The "Effect" column mentions "Military often switching sides with was complicated"—correcting typos, this means the military switching sides complicated matters, so the problem stems from military disloyalty/instability.)
