Question

what was the experience of jewish people under persian rule?
○ jewish people were forced out of their homeland.
○ jewish people became afraid to worship in public spaces.
○ jewish people remained and were free to practice their faith.
○ jewish people persuaded the persian ruler to convert to judaism.
mark this and return

Explanation:

When the Persians conquered Babylon, they allowed the Jewish people to return to their homeland (so the first option is wrong). The Persians were relatively tolerant of different religions, so Jewish people were not afraid to worship in public (the second option is wrong). There is no historical evidence that Persian rulers converted to Judaism (the fourth option is wrong). The Persian policy was to allow subject peoples to retain their cultures and religions, so Jewish people remained in their land (or returned if they were in exile) and were free to practice their faith.

Answer:

Jewish people remained and were free to practice their faith.
