Answer 1

Based on what is known about Etruscan cities and their history, the most accurate statement is:

The Roman civilization eventually took over Etruscan cities and expanded their territory.

This is true because the Romans did eventually conquer Etruscan cities, which were located in central Italy, and they expanded their control across the Italian peninsula and beyond. The other statements either misrepresent the geographical location or the extent of Roman conquest.
