Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Cyclical models take the view that civilizations rise and fall, respond to a series of challenges, or alternate between two opposing sets of cultural values. Evolutionary models see social change as natural and constant, with all societies becoming increasingly complex through a steady series of stages. Cyclical models generally see social history as circular, with evolutionary theories seeing it as linear.
