Answer 5

C. Russians adopted the Cyrillic alphabet.

The work of Eastern Orthodox missionaries Cyril and Methodius in early Russia shows the influence of Byzantine culture because they introduced the Cyrillic alphabet, which was based on the Greek alphabet and helped to spread Christianity throughout the region. This alphabet became the basis for the Russian written language and is still used in many Slavic languages today.

Answer 6

C. Arrival of invaders

The decline of the Byzantine Empire was largely due to the arrival of invaders such as the Turks and the Crusaders, who weakened the imperial state and eventually led to its downfall. Other contributing factors include economic troubles, internal conflicts, and the loss of territory to neighboring powers. While conversion of the Slavs and iconoclasm were important events in Byzantine history, they were not major factors in the empire's decline. Similarly, the recapture of Rome by the Byzantine Empire did not have a significant impact on its long-term fate.
