The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the text for reference, the question, and also the options for this question. However, doing some research we can say the following.
The question was "Select a possible theme of the myth."
The answer would be: Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.
The summary of the story is that Silenus was missing and Bacchus was looking for him. King Midas found him and treated really well and got him back to Bacchus. As a thank you gift, Bacchus gave the King the option to choose a skill. Midas chose to convert into gold everything he touched.
He got it. However, literally, everything he touched turned into gold, including food, wine, and water. He soon realized that he was a bot to starve and went to visit Bacchus to help him and override the "skill."
That is why the moral of the story is that better have good friends and enjoy life than to amaze richness.
Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question.
[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.
[2] On the eleventh day, he brought Silenus back and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.
[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.
[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.
Answer: people who expect a reward for good deeds are selfish
Why: y
Explantion: Well Midas took care of the man then instantly told him the wish
(if its wrong its wishes are sometimes better to not come true as the others dont make since)

What aspects of Europe’s political boundaries help explain why France and the Holy Roman Empire were often at war with each other?
Answer:
France and the Holy Roman Empire had geographical boundaries that are very easy to cross: they were rivers, streams, plains, or small forests. Only in the Southeast, the Alps represented a strong geographical boundary.
Beside, both regions had always been among the most densely populated in Europe, and this naturally led to conflicts due to competition for land and resources.
Finally, during most of their history, both France and the Holy Roman Empire were very unstable, being comprised by countless local lordships. This led to internal strife and external upheaval.

people should have known better than to trust European
explorers. If they had put up more of a fight, perhaps the
European explorers would have decided not to create
colonies in the Americas.

The statement that best identifies the central idea of the text is
A. The system that determines the U.S. president includes the voice of the American public, but it also includes several intricacies that are uniquely American.
We are referring to a text called "Who gets to be president?"
That statement is the correct one because the text clearly says that the founding fathers of the United States did not trust a hundred percent in the population. They found it inconvenient to give all the power to the masses, that is why they came up with an interesting experiment called the Electoral College, which is the one that decides -after the American people have expressed their votes- who is going to be the US President.

According to the reading, people of the Middle Ages started to explore for three reasons. Which of the following was NOT a reason explorers started to circle the globe?
1. Wealth through buying and selling exotic goods
2. Curiosity about other lands and what they held
3. Spreading medical advancements
4. Spreading Christianity
Answer:
I think it would be 3...
Explanation:
I mainly think it would be 3 because the other three seem more motivating to me especially because it's the middle ages and there wasn't too much medical advancement and they had no idea what was out there and couldn't know that there were people to teach medicine to. Also spreading christianity is a much more likely answer because Christians spread it like it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Type your response in the box. Think about how studying ancient civilizations from space can change the way we view the ancient world. Analyze how knowing what happened to ancient civilizations can help avoid the problems of the past. Write about 100 to 150 words that give your thoughts on this topic.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Studying ancient civilizations from space can change the way we view the ancient world because technology can help us to get a new perspective and enhance the understanding of how ancient civilizations developed thousands of years ago, and what factors made them disappear.
If researchers, historians, and archeologists can find better answers to what happened to ancient civilizations, we can have a more accurate version to answers question that until today are questionable or create controversy.
Scientists find it difficult to understand things such as the origin of the firsts human civilization that settled in the middle of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, the Sumerians. Oficial history states that they settled in that region of the Middle East approximately 8,000 years ago. However, modern discoveries have found archeological sites that are dated 12 to 15, 000 years ago, as is the case of Gobeki Tepi, in Turkey. This means that older civilizations existed before the Sumerians.
Answer:
Ancient civilizations had moments of glory that left them imposing, with great technological advancement and great socio-economic growth. Studying these moments is very important for our current civilization, as we can replicate the values of success, adapted to the modern world and achieve the same glory and ascension.
However, even in the midst of power, ancient civilizations experienced management problems that caused social collapse, the fall of civilization and even its extinction. It is also important to study these factors in order to avoid and suppress them as much as possible, avoiding making the same mistakes and causing damage to modern societies.
In a nutshell, we can say that the study of ancient civilizations allows us to project the future by stimulating benefits and suppressing losses.
