The court of private land claims, established in 1891, a. settled claims that had been filed over nearly 50 years. b. actually settled only a fraction of the total claims. c. was established because of the scandal of the santa fe ring. d. all of the above

these civilizations were located around fertile rivers, where they could produce an abundance of crops

        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!
