Explanation:

• Question 21: The Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire in many ways, sharing legal and traditional roots. The Byzantine Empire originated in the East, not Western Europe. Not all citizens were fluent in Latin in the Byzantine Empire as Greek became more prominent. And the Byzantine emperor was not always considered the ultimate religious authority in the same way as in early - Roman times.
• Question 22: The Corpus Iuris Civilis, especially in this excerpt, shows a strong connection to Christianity, which was a departure from older Roman traditions that were more polytheistic and had a different relationship with religion. There is no indication of bureaucracy making soldiering unnecessary, no mention of using war to spread Roman ideas, and no replacement of social - class divisions with an egalitarian church.
• Question 23: Mosaics are a major cultural contribution of the Byzantine Empire, made up of many cubes of marble or glass. Hagia is not the term for this; papyrus is an ancient writing material not related to this; and textile is a general term for woven or non - woven materials, not this specific art form.

Answer:

Question 21: a. Both empires shared like laws and traditions
Question 22: b. The law now honors Christianity as a central part of the empire's existence
