Question

1. the division of rome’s citizens into manual laborers and land owners is an example of what characteristic of classical civilization?

social stratification
cultural diffusion
enforced taxation
centralized government

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Social stratification refers to the division of society into different social classes or groups based on factors like occupation, wealth, etc. The division of Rome's citizens into manual laborers (lower - class - like) and landowners (upper - class - like) fits this.
• Cultural diffusion is about the spread of cultural traits, not social division, so this is incorrect.
• Enforced taxation is about collecting taxes, not social division, so this is incorrect.
• Centralized government is about the concentration of power in a central authority, not social division, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. social stratification
