Here are the suggested responses to fill in the blanks based on historical context:
- Response area: 410 AD (the year Goths captured Rome)
- Response area: 476 AD (the year the western Roman Empire ended)
- Response area: emperor (referring to Romulus Augustus as the last western Roman emperor)
So the completed passage would read:
In time, the city of Rome itself was attacked. Goths capture Rome in 410 AD and looted the city. In 455, the Vandals plundered Rome. Rome never recovered from these attacks. The western Roman empire ended in 476 AD. In that year, a German general named Odoacer deposed, or removed from power, Romulus Augustus, the last western Roman emperor. Odoacer became king of Italy.
