A.Greek Olympic Games
B.A Roman Circus
C.rcus C. A Gladiator competition
D.A and B
Correct Answer:
D. A and B

Explanation

Samson resists performing before attendants of both Greek Olympic Games and a Roman Circus. This answer is correct because the context of “Samson Agonistes” suggests that Samson is being forced to entertain a crowd in a public spectacle, and both the Greek Olympic Games and the Roman Circus were major public events in ancient times that featured athletic and entertainment performances. The QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com suggests remembering this answer by associating it with the number 64, the year the Roman Circus was rebuilt, to help recall that Samson’s performance is akin to a gladiatorial combat or a public show. Other options are incorrect because they do not fully capture the range of public events that Samson is being forced to perform at, and the correct answer encompasses both the athletic and entertainment aspects of these events. PPSC, FPSC, CSS, NTS, MDCAT and ECAT exams test topics like this, and candidates should be well-versed in literary references. Practice more at AnsweringExams.Com.
