whats the answer
To determine which critiques the factual accuracy of the summary, we need to evaluate each part of the summary individually.
1. The statement in part (1) of the summary states that Mycenaean Greeks sailed across the Aegean to launch an invasion of Troy. This is historically accurate based on archaeological and literary evidence, as the Trojan War is believed to have occurred around the 13th century BC.
2. Part (2) of the summary claims that the Trojan War inspired Homer's epic poem, the Iliad. This is also accurate, as the Iliad is indeed an ancient Greek poem that portrays events from the Trojan War.
3. Part (3) of the summary states that the Mycenaean civilization soon fell after their failed attempt to sack Troy. However, this statement is not entirely accurate. While it is true that the Mycenaean civilization eventually declined and collapsed, it was not solely due to their failed invasion of Troy. The Mycenaean civilization faced several other factors, such as economic, social, and political issues, that contributed to their downfall.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: While parts (1) and (2) are accurate, part (3) needs revision.
