9.C.  to bear and raise children

The women in roman society were banned from leaving the household without the permission of the husband.

Each small states also tend to support different person for the position for the thrones. Because of this, ongoing civil war often occurred in roman republic.

Rome's location was surrounded by hills and mountain. These hills and mountains serves as a natural fortress that protect Rome from sea attacks. In order to conquer Rome, the enemy need to deploy infantry to walk around the mountain and initiate attack to the capital.

15. D. Farmers were forced to seek jobs in the city.

Since the slaves completely replaced the farmers, they no longer had any means to obtain an income from the rural area. Because of this, the farmers decided to seek jobs in the city. (either as artists, blacksmiths, food sellers, or as soldiers)

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
