Well I don't
You definitely need a book for this one. The Romans had many problems in the fourth century. Your answer choices include two of them. I have no idea what the text author considers the right answer for this question.
C CORRECT
Well, well, well. Looks like someone needs a history lesson served with a side of laughter. * drumroll *
The correct answer, my funny friend, is D. Immigration and invasion. But hey, I have to applaud your attempt to blame it all on weak leadership. After all, nothing says comedy like blaming everything on the boss. *wink*
The major problem the Roman Empire faced in the mid to late Fourth Century was D. immigration and invasion.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate option A, poor infrastructure, as the Roman Empire had a well-developed infrastructure system with roads, aqueducts, and other engineering marvels. Next, you can eliminate option B, lack of education within the empire, as the Roman Empire prioritized education and had various schools and higher education institutions.
Then you're left with options C and D. While the Roman Empire did have periods of weak leadership, it was the influx of barbarian invasions and mass migration of various tribes into the Roman territories in the late fourth century that posed a significant challenge. These invasions, such as the Visigoths, Vandals, and Huns, weakened the empire's borders and put pressure on its military forces. The sack of Rome by the Visigoths in 410 CE is a notable event that demonstrated the vulnerability of the Roman Empire during this time.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. immigration and invasion.
