In 1893, an excavation led by wilhelm dörpfeld uncovered an ancient city he believed to be troy, the site of the war described in homer's epic poem the iliad. but that belief cannot be correct. in the iliad, the trojan war lasted ten years, but a city as small as the one uncovered by dörpfeld's team could not have withstood a siege lasting ten years.
which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument? a- in 1893, scholars knew of no other ancient city that could have been troy. b- the iliad does not provide any clues about the specific location of troy. c- dorpfeld's team found no evidence in the city they excavated that a siege had occurred there. d- the city excavated by dorpfeld's team had many features that scholars of the time believed troy had. e- the iliad accurately represents the duration of the trojan war.

The correct answer is D: The city excavated by Dorpfeld's team had many features that scholars of the time believed Troy had.

Explanation:

The archeologists from the 19th century had no many pieces of evidence to follow, in many cases, just Homer's Iliad was the main resource, alongside Herodotus's Histories.

If we analyze each sentence, we can see that:

i believe the correct answer is option b. most eastern european nations joined nato.

answer: a parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the confidence of the legislature, typically a parliament, and is also held accountable to that parliament. in a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. this is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.

countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the united kingdom, denmark, sweden, and japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as ireland, germany, india, and italy). in a few parliamentary republics, such as botswana, south africa, and suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. in bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house.

parliamentarianism is the dominant form of government in europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian. it is also common in the caribbean, being the form of government of 10 of its 13 island states, and in oceania. elsewhere in the world, parliamentary countries are less common, but they are distributed through all continents, most often in former colonies of the british empire that subscribe to a particular brand of parliamentarianism known as the westminster system.
