)What is the first step a historian usually takes when trying to learn about the past?

Drawing a conclusion
Conducting research
Fforming a hypothesis
Asking questions

The first step historians take as part of the historical thinking process is to pose the historical question and establish relevant background about the topic. So I guess the answer would be asking questions.

for (a) a tragedy was considered a main greek drama and it influenced alot of others. for (b) the actors in greek theater were named as aeschylus, sophocles, and euripides and sometimes playwrites. for (e) in a semi-circular theater called the "orchestra.". we'll the question was explain where the namer actors originated.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
