Which statement best describes the battle of thermopylae?

b. the spartans evacuated, and the persians burned their city.
c. the greek navy defeated king darius i at sea, ending the threat.
d. the spartans worked to stop a second persian invasion of greece.

The correct answer is D, as in the Battle of Thermopylae the Spartans worked to stop a second Persian invasion of Greece.

The battle of Thermopylae took place during the Second Persian Invasion of Greece. The span of the battle extended seven days, being three the days of combat.

Enormously outnumbered, the Spartans stopped the Persian advance, strategically located in the narrowest part of the gorge (estimated 10 to 30 meters), where the entire Persian power wouldn't pass. On those same dates the Battle of Artemisium took place, where by sea the Athenians fought against the Persian fleet.

the answer as multiple choice is c

africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the indian ocean, and the atlantic ocean. it is divided in half almost equally by the equator. the continent includes the islands of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

africa’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

the origin of the name “africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. most believe it stems from words used by the phoenicians, greeks, and romans. important words include the egyptian word afru-ika, meaning “motherland”; the greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”

today, africa is home to more countries than any other continent in the world. these countries are: morocco, western sahara (morocco), algeria, tunisia, libya, egypt, sudan, chad, niger, mali, mauritania, senegal, the gambia, guinea-bissau, guinea, sierra leone, liberia, côte d’ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, togo, benin, nigeria, cameroon, central africa republic, equatorial guinea, gabon, congo, democratic republic of the congo, angola, namibia, botswana, south africa, lesotho, swaziland, mozambique, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania, rwanda, burundi, uganda, kenya, somalia, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea and the island countries of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.
