Question

with ten wealthy families ruling the country, it could be called an ______.
1 imbroglio
2 oligarchy
3 anarchy
4 amnesty

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "Imbroglio" means a complicated situation, not related to ruling by families.
• "Oligarchy" is a form of government where a small group (like ten wealthy families) rules.
• "Anarchy" is absence of government, not matching.
• "Amnesty" is a pardon, irrelevant to ruling.

So the correct term for rule by a few wealthy families is oligarchy.

Answer:

1. oligarchy
