I believe the answer is:

1.B  . Its island location and trading activities allowed it to acquire ideas and technology from other civilizations.

When minoan traders is conducting a business with traders from other culture, they would interract with one another. During this interraction, an exchange of knowledge and culture would most likely happen between them. Since Minoan culture trades with many cultures, they able to collect different varieties of ideas and tehcnology.

2.a   the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations

The egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations were considered to be the largest trading partner that the Minoan ever had. Due to the large number of transactions that they have, the amount of interractions and exchange in culures among them are also massive.

3.d  . They invaded and conquered the lands

When they invade and conquered these lands, they would took a lot of natural resources from these territories, and force their conquest to do various activities for them. Over time, the number of their conquest become even larger and they became one of the major powers in mainland and Crete.

4 c. honor, courage, and eloquence

Odyssey is depicted as someone who had all the general archetype of heroes. He acted only for good purposes, not afraid to face enemies that even seem stronger than he is, and his behaviour is so eloquence  which make it impossible for other people around him to disrespect him.

5.  b. The Trojan Paris kidnaps Helen, wife of a Greek king.

The act of 'Kidnapping' only occurs in the perspective of the Greek King. If we see it on the perspective of both Trojan and Helen, they are eloping, since they both love each other. Burned with anger, the Greek King initiate an attack which later started the Trojan War.

the results of roman expansion produced social conflict and civil war. julius caesar gained power and became a dictator but was then assassinated. the reign of augustus began a long period of imperial rule and peace in the roman empire. rome faced the problems of how to maintain peace, law, and order.

hope this !
