c They kept the Roman structure of government but excluded Romans from holding power.

d They gave all power to the Roman Catholic Church and let it run the government.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

b They kept the Roman structure of government even allowing Roman former officials to keep their jobs.

When the Ostrogoths and Visigoths took over Roman territories, they often maintained the existing Roman administrative structures, allowing many Roman officials to retain their positions and continue to operate within the framework of Roman governance. This approach helped to ensure stability and continuity in the regions they governed.
