Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: d

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Social changes in Greece opened up opportunities for the commercial classes. Because
formal schooling was limited for these people, the Sophists provided training in intellectual and rhetorical skills. The Sophists trained students to become successful advocates and legislators. According to critics, the Sophists placed too much emphasis on appearance and technique in communication at the expense of truth, honesty, and substance.

Answer to Question 3

ANSWER: Students carefully listened to sacred readings by the rabbi and engaged in reading, memorization, and recitation. The goal was to internalize the meaning and message of the lesson. Rituals were taught that commemorated important events in the history of the Hebrew people.
