Question 1 • PCA 26-27 - SOC - World History (45.3830099) YL IC – 2290247

Which of the following statements best describes how Alexander the Great stayed in power?

Answer
A
He won over local populations by lowering their taxes.
B
He held and won elections.
C
He formed an alliance with Macedonia.
D
He used fear and intimidation and destroyed his enemies.

Explanation

Alexander maintained control largely through military force, intimidating opponents and destroying those who resisted him. Lowering taxes and winning elections do not describe how he ruled, and Macedonia was his homeland rather than an alliance he formed to stay in power. The best answer is D: he used fear and intimidation and destroyed his enemies.
