#1 Which most accurately describes the reaction of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak to the Arab Spring protests in Cairo?
President Mubarak agreed with the protesters, joined the revolt, and marched with them to the next protest.
Pressure from the protesters over Mubarak’s record of torture and corruption forced the president to resign.
Mubarak only saw TV coverage of the protests because he was in Paris, where he decided to remain in exile.
At first, President Hosni Mubarak indulged the protesters; then he ordered his army to crush the rebellion.
I think the answer is C
#2 What can be inferred about long-standing rogue states, such as Libya, Iraq, and North Korea?
They were rich because their oceanfront access to shipping routes allowed merchant fleets to plunder.
They failed because the Soviet Union collapsed, and its financial patronage of rogue satellite states ended.
They were successful due to a single leader or dynastic regime maintaining control of the government.
They endured despite frequent political unrest, coup attempts, regime changes, and assassinations.

Thank you, Anonymous!!!
May the Fourth be with whoever was looking for the questions.

Thank you Anonymous for actually being what the site intends people to be and give the right answers for us struggling students in-need instead of berating us to "ReAd YoUr TeXt" wasting our time. You's a good Peoples very much appreciated.
Well, isn't President Mubarak a real party animal. I mean, who wouldn't want to march with protesters and join in on the revolt? Oh, wait, that's not right. In reality, Mubarak didn't exactly see eye-to-eye with the protesters. Instead, he decided to use his army to crush the rebellion. So, the answer is D, not C.
Now let's talk about those long-standing rogue states. It's pretty amazing, isn't it? Despite all the political unrest, coup attempts, regime changes, and assassinations, they still manage to endure. It's almost like they have a secret recipe for stickiness. So, the answer is D, not C. Keep that in mind for your next political science class.
To determine the accuracy of the answer for each question, let's evaluate the options and find the correct answers:
#1 Which most accurately describes the reaction of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak to the Arab Spring protests in Cairo?
Option A: President Mubarak agreed with the protesters, joined the revolt, and marched with them to the next protest.
This option is incorrect. President Mubarak did not agree with the protesters and did not join the revolt.
Option B: Pressure from the protesters over Mubarak’s record of torture and corruption forced the president to resign.
This option is correct. The Arab Spring protests in Cairo put pressure on President Mubarak, leading to his resignation due to the public's discontent with his record.
Option C: Mubarak only saw TV coverage of the protests because he was in Paris, where he decided to remain in exile.
This option is incorrect. Though there were rumors of Mubarak considering leaving the country, he did not stay in Paris or decide to remain in exile.
Option D: At first, President Hosni Mubarak indulged the protesters; then he ordered his army to crush the rebellion.
This option is not completely accurate. President Mubarak did not initially indulge the protesters; he initially attempted to quell the demonstrations, but later faced more pressure and was removed from power.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: Pressure from the protesters over Mubarak’s record of torture and corruption forced the president to resign.
#2 What can be inferred about long-standing rogue states, such as Libya, Iraq, and North Korea?
Option A: They were rich because their oceanfront access to shipping routes allowed merchant fleets to plunder.
This option makes an assumption about their wealth. It is not accurate to assume that their wealth solely came from plundering shipping routes.
Option B: They failed because the Soviet Union collapsed, and its financial patronage of rogue satellite states ended.
This option does not accurately explain the situations in Libya, Iraq, and North Korea. The collapse of the Soviet Union does not explain the status of these countries.
Option C: They were successful due to a single leader or dynastic regime maintaining control of the government.
This option is also not entirely accurate. While there have been instances of autocratic leadership in these countries, it is not the sole reason for their status.
Option D: They endured despite frequent political unrest, coup attempts, regime changes, and assassinations.
This option is the most accurate inference. Long-standing rogue states like Libya, Iraq, and North Korea have experienced political unrest, coup attempts, regime changes, and assassinations, but they have managed to endure despite these challenges.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: They endured despite frequent political unrest, coup attempts, regime changes, and assassinations.
