Who wrote the book the gilded age: a tale of today and how did this book portray america?
what is a political machine?
where was tammany hall located and what was it?
who was boss tweed and what did he do in relationship to voting?
would the industrial economy have succeeded without the extreme business practices of the robber barons/captains of industry?

the answer is false.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
