Question

question 1 of 5
a historian who compares world events during the classical era to world events during the modern era is organizing history by ______.

a. region

b. culture

c. theme

d. period

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A (region): Organizing by region would involve grouping events by geographical area, not time periods, so A is incorrect.
• Option B (culture): Organizing by culture focuses on cultural groups or aspects, not time, so B is incorrect.
• Option C (theme): Organizing by theme groups events by common topics (like war, trade), not time periods, so C is incorrect.
• Option D (period): The classical era and modern era are distinct time periods. Comparing events across these time periods means organizing history by period.

Answer:

D. period
