Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Achilles' is a known person in folktales and mythical stories

Answer 2

Which belief was held by Shia Muslims?

Muslim leaders should be chosen because of their faith.
Future caliphs should be chosen from the community.
Future caliphs should be descendants of Muhammad.
All Muslims should be able to interpret the Qur’an.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Future caliphs should be descendants of Muhammad.

The one that can be stated as a belief system which was held by Shia Muslims was: “Future caliphs should be descendants of Muhammad.” Hence, Option C is correct.

Who were the  Shia Muslims?

A hadith account of Muhammad's proclamation at Ghadir Khumm serves as the foundation for Shairism. According to Sha Muslims, Al ibn Abilib, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, should have been chosen to succeed him as the spiritual and political head of Islam.

A disagreement about who should follow the Prophet Muhammad as head of the Islamic faith he founded is where the division first began.

Shias consider ayatollahs, or seasoned Shia academics, to be sources of emulation and believe that God always provides guidance, first in the form of the Imams, or direct descendants of Ali. Disagreements among Ali's heirs on the right line of succession led to the sect's splintering.

Therefore, Option C is correct.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

A negative impact of rapid urbanization during the Gilded Age was "Unsanitary and cramped tenement housing."

For American historians, the Gilded Age was those complicated years after the American Civil War and the beginning of the 1900s. The term was taken from American writer and author Mark Twan, who wrote the book "The Gilded Age; A Tale of Today." It was a period in the United States were many industries prospered through corruption acts, and bribes that made bankers, businessmen, and politics very rich, meanwhile American workers continued to struggle with hard work and low salaries.

Rapid urbanization during the Gilded Age was unsanitary because many poor people that worked in industries had to live in cramped housing, where there were limited ventilation and diseases spread easily. Immigrants that arrived at large American cities made this problem worse.

what is the weakness of the European Union as displayed in the Greek economic crisis?

Answers

Answer:

The European Union  is a unique political and economic partnership that currently consists

of 27 member states

1 Built through a series of binding treaties,

the EU is the latest stage in a process of integration begun after World War II to promote peace

and economic recovery in Europe. Its founders hoped that by creating specified areas in which

member states agreed to share sovereignty—initially in coal and steel production, trade, and

nuclear energy—it would promote interdependence and make another war in Europe unthinkable.

Since the 1950s, this European integration project has expanded to encompass other economic

sectors; a customs union; a single market in which capital, goods, services, and people move

freely (known as the “four freedoms”); a common trade policy; a common agricultural policy;

many aspects of social and environmental policy; and a common currency (the euro) that is used

by 19 member states. Since the mid-1990s, EU members have also taken steps toward political

integration, with decisions to develop a Common Foreign and Security Policy  and efforts

to promote cooperation in the area of Justice and Home Affairs (JHA). Twenty-two EU members

participate in the Schengen area of free movement, which allows individuals to travel without

passport checks among most European countries.
