Which of the following characteristics of Rome helped lead to the rise of the Rome Empire?
A. Creating economic ties with neighboring countries
B. Controlling vast lands throughout the Mediterranean
C. Instilling a sense of Roman pride and duty within soldiers
D. Implementing successful social reforms to help the poor
If I understand this correctly, it asks how the city of Rome led to the rise of the Roman empire. So, B would be out. C and A are not what I think the question is looking for. So, If I had to guess i'd go with D.
