How did Roman rule differ from Syrian rule?

Answer
A
The Romans allowed new temples, while the Syrians destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem.
B
The Romans allowed the Israelites to choose local leaders, while the Syrians used their own.
C
The Romans allowed Israelites’ cultural practices, while the Syrians forced Greek culture on the Israelites.
D
The Romans allowed Judaism to be practiced, while the Syrians eventually outlawed all Jewish practices.

Explanation

Roman rule generally permitted Jews to practice Judaism, although Roman authorities sometimes restricted or punished Jewish customs. Under the Syrian Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV, Jewish practices were outlawed and the Temple in Jerusalem was desecrated. Therefore, the correct choice is “The Romans allowed Judaism to be practiced, while the Syrians eventually outlawed all Jewish practices.”
