Question

who were some of the people that were kept alive from the conquered cities? scholars religious leaders farmers rewatch

Explanation:

In historical contexts of conquered cities, farmers were often kept alive as they could produce food for the conquerors. Scholars and religious leaders might also be retained for knowledge or religious control, but farmers' utility in agriculture (sustaining the population) made them a key group to keep.

Answer:

Farmers (along with potentially Scholars and Religious Leaders depending on context, but if choosing one, Farmers is a strong candidate as their labor in food production was vital. If multiple, then:

• Scholars (for knowledge/intellectual resources)
• Religious Leaders (for religious authority/control)
• Farmers (for agricultural production)

But if the question expects selecting (assuming from historical patterns where farmers were crucial for sustenance, so the answer here, if to pick, is Farmers. However, depending on the specific historical context referenced, all three could be correct. But typically, farmers were commonly kept for their ability to grow food. So the answer options (checkboxes) would be:

• Scholars (checked if applicable)
• Religious Leaders (checked if applicable)
• Farmers (checked as a key group)

If the question is from a specific lesson where, say, farmers were the answer, then the answer is the checkbox for Farmers.
