Read the excerpt spoken by an imaginary invader of rome, and then answer the question. the romans call us barbarians because they think we’re uncivilized, but we have our own culture. as their empire weakened, we decided to lead our army to raid their capital. in rome, we destroyed buildings and stole anything valuable that we could find. to which group does the writer of the passage belong? a. the franks b. the hunas c. the huns d. the saxons e. the vandals

The right answer is: E. The vandals. They were a Germanic people of central Europe. The second of three looting of Rome carried out by the barbarian people took place in 455 by the vandals, who fought a war against Petronius Maximus, which was emperor only for a few weeks in that year.

""The Romans call us barbarians because they think we are uncivilized."The writer of the passage belongs to :

D. The Saxons.

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.

we pointed them north: recollections of a cowpuncher by e.c. “teddy blue” abbott tells us of the history of nomad cowboys in north america. as the   frontiers began moving west, trails of cowboys of the 1870s and ’80s drove herds of cattle from texas to the northern ranges and railheads, and then rode back south to do it again. they gradually pushed   native americans out of their lands, until in 1889 the   government transferred white   colonists the indian land.
