I got 86%.
however two questions are problematic in my opinion.
Question 17
Quote
200 hundred years after Alexander the Great's death, this historian wrote:
"For I myself believe that there was at that time no race of mankind, no city, no single individual to which the name of Alexander had not reached."
Who was this historian?
Polybius of Megalopolis ?
Thucydides ?
Lucius Flavius Arrianus ?
None of these ?
Your question is misleading Alexander died in 323 B.C.E.; 200 years later would be c. 123 B.C.E., about the time of the historian Polybius. Arrianus was born c.90 C.E., during the reign of the Emperor Domitian, in other words 400 years after the death of Alexander the Great. see
The Campaigns of Alexander, Arrian, Penguin Books, 1971, p. 13.
Question 20
Quote
Who thwarted Alexander the Great's conquest of India in 322 BC?
Channdragupta Maurya ?
Eumenes ?
Memnon ?
None of these ?
This is a real nasty question it seems to be stating that Alexander was stopped in India in 322 B.C.E.! Which was after his death in 323 B.C.E.! And the answer Chandragupta can't be correct for this reading of the question because he never fought Alexander. But upon rereading the question it seems that all thats required is that Chandragupta "thwart" or reverse Alexander's conquests which could easily occur after Alexander's death. However the date, 322 B.C.E., is very problematic. We now very little about what happened in India after the death of Alexander so that when Chandragupta conquered the Punjab and Indus valley from Alexander's greek garrisons and Alexander's allies is not clearly known. It could have occurred at any time between 322 B.C.E., and 306 B.C.E. We know that Chandragupta fought the Greek general Seleucus in 306-305 B.C.E.
