Question

1. select two ways the roman empire and han china had similar challenges that led to their downfall. each of the emperors handed power to a warlord both societies faced pressure from outside invaders. christian teachings made both societies less warlike. city dwellers in both societies relied on slave labor both built roads and overextended their empires clear all

Explanation:

1. Analyze "Both societies faced pressure from outside invaders": The Roman Empire faced Germanic tribes, and Han China faced Xiongnu, so external invasion pressure was a common downfall factor.
2. Analyze "Both built roads and overextended their empires": Both expanded extensively (Roman with its vast territories, Han with its expansion) and built infrastructure (Roman roads, Han's road network), leading to overstretch and decline.
3. Eliminate other options: "Each emperor handed power to a warlord" is incorrect (Han had peasant uprisings, Roman had political instability but not this pattern). "Christian teachings" didn't affect Han China. "Slave labor" was more Roman - Han relied less on slaves.

Answer:

B. Both societies faced pressure from outside invaders, E. Both built roads and overextended their empires
