Notes

Part A — the answers.

Part B — the answers.

Part C — the answers.

Part D — what a good answer includes.

Answers vary. A good answer names one world and one thing that held it together: Constantinople's walls, strait and law Code, the faith and Baghdad's marketplace and learning, or Charlemagne's counts, inspectors and schools.
Answers vary. A good answer pairs a landform with an event: the Bosporus made Constantinople rich, the Tigris gave Baghdad its markets, the desert made the Bedouin travelers, or the Pyrenees held a line in Spain.
