Explanation:

Question 18

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the definition of a republic. A republic is a form of government where power is held by the people and their elected representatives, not by monarchs or royals.

• "Republics are led by monarchs" is false because republics do not have monarchs (monarchies are led by monarchs, republics by elected officials).
• "Republics are not led by royals" is true as republics have elected governments, not royal leadership.
• "Republics have representative governments" is true as republics rely on elected representatives.

So the exception is the statement that republics are led by monarchs.

Athens had direct democracy (citizens vote directly on laws). Rome had a republican form of government with representative democracy. So to change a law in Rome, you would vote for a representative who would then vote on the law on your behalf.

• "Work to extend political rights to women" is irrelevant to changing a curfew law.
• "Work to extend political rights to slaves" is also irrelevant to the law - changing process here.
• "Vote for a representative who would vote for you" matches Rome's representative democracy.
• "Work to limit the influence of corporations in elections" is not relevant to ancient Rome's political system.

Answer:

A. Republics are led by monarchs
