Select the correct answer. a historian is writing a paper on the idea of the divine right of kings in europe during the middle ages. she reads a speech by a bishop in the middle ages claiming that kings were appointed by god to rule over people. she then explains why the bishop would have believed this idea, even if it is not one that most people believe today. what is she doing in this paper? a. the historian is explaining cause and effect. b. the historian is placing the argument in historical context. c. the historian is comparing and contrasting primary sources. d. the historian is developing a hypothesis.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
