Answer 1

The true statement about the size of the Roman Empire at its greatest extent is:

**It included Western Europe, the Balkans, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East.**

At its height, the Roman Empire covered large swathes of territory, including much of Western Europe (such as modern-day Spain, France, and Italy), the Balkans, North Africa (including parts of modern-day Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt), and parts of the Middle East (such as modern-day Israel and Jordan). The other statements do not accurately describe the territory of the Roman Empire.
