If you're not cheating, then post what YOU THINK the answers are, and someone here will check them for you.

1. The answer is C. Songhai. To arrive at this answer, you would need to have knowledge of the historical context of the 1500s and the Senegambia region. Specifically, you would need to know that Timbuktu was a prominent center of learning and culture during this time, known for its libraries and universities. Then, you would need to identify which kingdom in the Senegambia region was associated with Timbuktu as its cosmopolitan urban center of learning, which is Songhai.
2. The answer is A. shifting alliances among European powers. To determine this answer, you would need to understand the progression and different stages of the Thirty Years' War. Historians divide the war into four phases based on significant changes in alliances and participants. The phases reflect the shifting alliances among European powers as the war progressed, making option A the correct answer.
3. The answer is C. Thomas Aquinas. To arrive at this answer, you would need to be familiar with the work of Thomas Aquinas, a theologian who sought to reconcile Aristotle's philosophy with Christian doctrine. Aquinas's ideas, commonly referred to as Thomism, were influential in the Middle Ages and played a crucial role in reconciling faith and reason. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
4. The answer is A. It was the site of a main salt-mining center. To determine this answer, you would need knowledge of historical and geographical contexts.
