If someone could check my answers that would be wonderful! Thank you so much!

As I told you before, 6 is wrong.

The others are correct.

Sorry about that Ms. Sue, would the answer be B?

That's me by the way, just forgot to put in my name. :) ^

Yes, 6 B.

1. To determine which period of history was influenced by classical Greek and Roman works, we can analyze each option. The Renaissance is known for its revival of classical culture and learning, so it is highly likely that this period was influenced by Greek and Roman works. The Age of Exploration primarily focused on trade and the discovery of new lands, so it is less likely to be influenced by classical works. The Technology Era, which refers to a general period of technological advancements, is unlikely to be directly influenced by classical works. The Dark Ages, also known as the Middle Ages, occurred after the fall of the Western Roman Empire and saw a decline in classical knowledge, so it is less likely to be influenced by Greek and Roman works. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Renaissance.

2. To determine why many Native Americans died after the Spanish invasion, we can analyze each option. Loss of homes may have contributed to their decline, but it is not the primary reason. Loss of pride may have had emotional and psychological effects, but it is not a major cause of death. While starvation may have played a role, it is not the main reason either. Disease, specifically European diseases brought by the Spanish such as smallpox, had devastating impacts on Native American populations, causing widespread death. Therefore, the correct answer is D) disease.

3. To determine the name of the contact and exchange resulting from Christopher Columbus' voyages, we can analyze each option. The Continental Exchange is not a widely recognized term in history. Mercantilism is an economic system focused on the accumulation of wealth through trade, but it is not specifically related to the exchange resulting from Columbus' voyages. The Treaty of Tordesillas divided the newly discovered lands between Spain and Portugal, but it is not the term used to describe the contact and exchange between continents. The Columbian Exchange refers to the widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, diseases, and ideas between the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa) and the New World (the Americas) following Columbus' voyages. Therefore, the correct answer is C) the Columbian Exchange.

4. To determine an example of how the first Americans adapted to their resources, we can analyze each option. Living along coastlines and fishing would have been a logical adaptation for communities near water bodies rich in fish, making option A) They lived along coastlines and fished a plausible answer. Settlers near the Arctic Circle building homes of reeds and branches is an adaptation to the harsh Arctic climate, but it is not directly related to resources. Settlers in present-day Mexico building houses of gold is unrelated to resource adaptation. Native Americans in the Great Plains having a diet of tropical fruit is unlikely due to the climatic conditions of the region. Therefore, the correct answer is A) They lived along coastlines and fished.

5. To determine where great early American civilizations built large cities, we can analyze each option. Central and South America, particularly the regions where the Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations thrived, were known for their large cities. Alaska and the plains of North America were not the primary locations of these civilizations. Asia, while having its own early civilizations with large cities, is not relevant to the question. Therefore, the correct answer is A) In Central and South America.

6. To determine when Spanish explorers first arrived in the Americas, we can analyze each option. The nineteenth century is too late for the arrival of Spanish explorers, so we can eliminate option A. The late 1400s coincide with the time period when Christopher Columbus made his famous voyages, making option B) in the late 1400s the correct answer.

7. To determine what some strong monarchs and large nation-states in the 1400s helped to do, we can analyze each option. Increasing interest in exploration aligns with the ambitions of strong monarchs during the Age of Exploration, as they sought to expand their empires and territories. Overthrowing the British Empire is unrelated to the 1400s, as the British Empire rose much later in history. Decreasing the demand for spies is not a significant historical effect of strong monarchs and large nation-states in the 1400s. Making all Europeans wealthy, while a desire of many rulers, was not a direct outcome of their actions. Therefore, the correct answer is A) Increase interest in exploration.

8. To determine what the Dutch, English, and French explorers of the 1500s and 1600s were seeking, we can analyze each option. A direct water route to Asia was a major objective for European explorers during this time, as they sought to establish trade and bypass the Ottoman Empire's control of the Silk Road. English-speaking Native Americans, the gold of the Aztec Empire, and corn, tobacco, and squash were not the primary goals of these explorers. Therefore, the correct answer is A) A direct water route to Asia.

9. To determine what early Americans needed in order to become farmers and form communities, we can analyze each option. Europeans to help them is not a requirement for early Americans to become farmers and form communities, as they were capable of doing so independently. Money, while desirable, is not a necessary condition for early farming and community formation. A dependable food supply, on the other hand, is essential for communities to sustain themselves and develop agricultural practices, making option C) A dependable food supply the correct answer.

10. To determine which early American civilization was the first to build stone pyramids, we can analyze each option. While the Maya, Aztec, and Inca civilizations all constructed impressive stone structures, the Olmec civilization predates them and is known for their creation of stone pyramids such as the famous La Venta pyramid in modern-day Mexico. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Olmec.
