What makes something "modern," according to oxford university? the use of new technologies the way people thought about the world the dependence on mystery and religion a natural philosophy

The correct answer is A: The use of new technologies

Oxford University views on the word "modern" as the application and use of up-to-date technologies, ideas, and techniques to achieve something in the real world.  This is achieved through the creation of new theories, concepts, and techniques different from the past to gain a new perspective for the future.

According to Oxford University, the use of new technologies is what makes something modern, and specifically, Oxford University defines "modern things" as being distinguished by holding the most up-to-date techniques, or resources. And off course technology includes the the study, development, and application of tools, methods and technical knowledge.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
