Tsar alexander ii:
a. was a repressive ruler who reversed all the reforms of his father.
b. was assassinated in spite of freeing the serfs.
c. was an enlightened ruler who industrialized russia.
d. led russia to victory in the crimean war.
e. was an intellectual who founded the bolshoi ballet.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
