How did fredrick the great gain his nickname?
a.

for his intellectual brilliance

c.

for his excellent military skill
b.

for his generosity

d.

for his charm

I would choose both of these as the combined reasons why Frederick II earned the nickname "Frederick the Great" --

Frederick the Great is famed both for his military prowess in developing Prussia as a mighty military power in Europe, as well as his intellectual pursuits in correspondence with Enlightenment philosophers such as Voltaire.  Frederick the Great is referred to as one of the "enlightened despots" who combined an enlightened, philosophical outlook on governing with the power of creating a strong centralized state.

The answer is "c", for his excellent military skill. I just took the quiz and got it right. Hope this helps :)

what are the choices?
