Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

After Alexander the Great passed away, his generals divided the Greek Empire. One of those generals, Seleucus, took Palestine and made it part of his kingdom. Judah was still under Seleucus' rule, and did not become an independent nation until many years later.

Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander the Great was king of Macedonia, which was an ancient Greek kingdom. Eventually, Macedonia would become the center of Hellenistic culture. Alexander's empire had become one of the largest of the ancient world by the time he turned 30. His rule spread Greek civilization all over the continent, and to areas as remote as India and Northern Africa. This resulted in cultural diffusion but also in syncretism. It also marked the beginning of Hellenistic civilization.
