Correct answer is 3. because it was commissioned by the Emperor Justinian to symbolically unite the two halves of his empire (east and west); for this purpose mosaics of him and his wife in the interior serve as surrogates who perpetually bring bread and wine to the altar.

Explanation:

Hello!

During his reign, Emperor Justinian I tried to return the splendor that the Roman Empire had had in the past. For this reason, he began a military campaign in order to recover the territories that the Roman Empire of the West had over the Mediterranean Sea.

In 553, Justinian's army defeated the Ostrogod kingdom of Italy annexing its territory. The city of Ravenna was the capital of the Ostrogod kingdom.

In 547, the church of San Vitale in Ravenna was consecrated.  The building is one of the most important temples of Byzantine art, in which its decoration stands out.

Since 1996, San Vitale' in Ravenna is a World Heritage Site.

answer: you could try asking a family member maybe?

hello!

according to the passage the most suitable options are two. the first one is "by leading the aef to victory in several key battles" like the battle of saint- mihiel and the battle of cantigny mentioned in the passage you copied here. the second one is "by the aef and allied forces defeat germany" since the passage says that his army destroy the german resistance in the meuse- argonne offensive. and also, "by insisting that the aef operate as an independent force".
