The two correct answers that contributed to the fall of the Roman Republic are:

  1. There was a gap between rich and poor - This economic disparity led to social unrest and contributed to political instability.
  2. Conflict led to a long Civil War - Internal conflicts and civil wars weakened the Republic and ultimately led to its collapse.

The other options are not accurate reasons for the fall of the Roman Republic. Rome did not lose the Punic Wars; in fact, it won all three of them, which expanded its territory and influence. Regarding slave labor, while it was a significant factor in the economy, the reduction of slave labor was not a primary reason for the fall, and soldiers were often loyal to their generals rather than the government, leading to further instability.
