Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Romance languages are derived from Latin. French is a Romance - language, while English is a Germanic - based language with Latin influences, Greek has its own independent language family, and German is a Germanic language.
  2. Political corruption in an empire typically leads to a weakening of government efficiency as resources are misused and officials may not perform their duties properly. It does not lead to cultural unity, economic growth, or military expansion in a positive sense.
  3. The Roman Empire suffered from invasions by the Germanic tribes.

Answer:

  1. B. French
  2. C. Weakening of government efficiency
  3. Roman Empire (not provided as an option in the given text, but this is the correct answer to the question)
