257. (c) The revival of the Byzantine Empire between the eighth and eleventh centuries shows cultural rebirth preceding economic and military revival, the reverse of the commonly accepted order of progress (Because the last para tells that "Thus the commonly expected order of military revival followed by economic and then by cultural recovery was reversed in Byzantium")
258. (c) To suggest that cultural, economic, and military advances have tended to be closely interrelated in different societies (Because the second para suggests that "After all, these three forms of progress have gone together in a number of states and civilizations")
259. (d) were strong enough to withstand the Abbasid Caliphate’s military forces (Because the first para tells about the Abbasid Caliphate's threat in the eight century and then states that "By the early eleventh century, however, the empire had regained almost half of its lost possessions")
260. (b) during the seventh century (Because the first para tells about the revival of the Byzantine empire between 8th and 11th century and mentions that "it followed a long period of severe internal decline")
261. (b) set up an order of events that is then shown to be not generally applicable to the case of Byzantium (Because "Thus the commonly expected order of military revival followed by economic and then by cultural recovery was reversed in Byzantium" suggests a general type of pattern observed elsewhere but in this case it has not been applicable)
262. (d) The revival of Byzantine learning began toward the end of the eighth century (Because "Finally, the Byzantine revival of learning appears to have begun even earlier" is cited as the evidence of the general pattern not being applicable to the Byzantine empire)
263. (c) not applicable to the Byzantine revival as a whole, but does perhaps accurately describe limited periods during the revival (Because "No doubt this hypothetical pattern did apply at times during the course of the recovery" suggests the general pattern was applicable during some period)
