Question

what is the main question the author raises about alexander the great?
a was alexander really great or should he be called alexander the appalling?
b was alexander a godlike figure?
c did alexander conquer the entire world?
d did alexander create the eastern roman empire?

Explanation:

The question asks for the main question about Alexander the Great. Option A directly challenges the core label of "great" attached to him, which is a central evaluative question in historical discussions of his legacy. The other options focus on specific factual claims (conquering the world, creating the Eastern Roman Empire) or a narrower attribute (being godlike), whereas A addresses the fundamental assessment of his title and reputation.

Answer:

A. Was Alexander really 'great' or should he be called 'Alexander the Appalling'?
