Explanation:

Question 6

To determine the truth about Alexander the Great's relationship with the Silk Road, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Alexander’s conquests (e.g., into Central Asia) helped connect regions, so the Silk Road as we know it likely relied on his territorial expansion for its effective trade routes.
• Option b: His conquests expanded trade networks, so the road would not be “more effective” without them (eliminates b).
• Option c: He expanded, not destroyed, routes (eliminates c).

Only option a is valid.

The codified Roman law system that transitioned Rome from monarchy to republic is the Twelve Tables (450 BCE). Other options:

• “13 Principles” is incorrect.
• “Big Book of Roman Laws” is not a historical term.
• “Constitution” does not refer to this early codification.

During the Roman Republic, the Senate was the major governing body (composed of patricians, advising consuls, and wielding significant power). Other options:

• “House of Representatives” is U.S.-specific.
• “Supreme Court” is not the main republican-era body.
• “Emperor” existed in the Empire, not the Republic.

Answer:

a. Without his conquests it would have never existed as we know it today
