Can someone answer this for history on a timed test please

22:B, 23:D (I´m kinda iffy on that one), 24:A (I think), 27:C, 28:B, 29:A

Explanation:

the romans were initially interested in expansion via sicily (which at that time was a cultural melting pot), part of which lay under carthaginian control. at the start of the first punic war (264-241 bc), carthage was the dominant power of the western mediterranean, with an extensive maritime empire

the answer is a. hope this
