Question 4 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

Which factor played a role in the East-West Schism?

Answer
A
People were from different classes.
B
There were popes in different regions.
C
Regions did not speak the same language.
D
The churches in each empire operated separately.

Explanation

The Eastern and Western churches developed in regions where people mainly spoke different languages: Greek in the East and Latin in the West. These language differences made communication harder and contributed to growing cultural and religious divisions. So “Regions did not speak the same language” is the correct choice.
