1. Yes, but could find no resources to confirm for you.
2. No, and there's a resource that helps describe it...
3. Yes, this was a no-brainer for me. However, I found no specific resource to back it up. I would go with this answer if it were me.
4. No, and there's a resource to help you out...
5. No, but I'm not positive... based on a resource I found... it mentions dating pieces based on the rendition of the hair...
6. Yes, based on a wikipedia resource...
Also, there's another internet resource that supports that...
7. No, and there's a resource that proves that...
There is also a resource I found that mentioned the Etruscans had started cremating in the beginning...
I had links for each answer for you, but it wouldn't allow me to link for you. However, I confirmed all of these by searching online. Hope this helps.
Thank you so so much for your help!
Regarding the wrong answers. I believe that I have found the correct ones. If you could confirm/deny that would be helpful. If there are any that are still wrong from this bunch - I guess I will wing it but hopefully that shouldn't be the case!
2. C (After reading more about it - it was starting to make sense that he DIDN'T want to be referred to as a God but rather solely recognized for his military efforts and role as commander)
4. C. (the sources that I was looking at weren't making it very clear if it was based on the emperor or the entrance to the city or both so that is where the confusion sparked from. sorry about that!)
5. B (like you said...i originally couldn't find any resources on the matter and just guessed on my original answer, honestly)
7. B (although i'm not 100% sure on this because all i could find articles on mentioned the similarities between them rather than the differences. i do, however, understand how my answer is wrong and thank you for pointing it out.)
thank you so so much for your help. it's truly appreciated!
That's the answers I would agree with for your study guide. All the other answers for the choices on #7, I could disprove, but I could find nothing to prove this one correct.
