The influence of the Roman Empire was the single most important force in early Europe. Without the unifying effect of the Empire, regional or tribal differences would have prevailed, and Europe would have remained a land of separate states, each avoiding contact with the others.

Instead, Rome and its culture pulled the different areas together. Spain, for example, was a stable and secure part of the Roman Empire, and Roman culture had a strong influence there. Aqueducts, such as this one in Segovia, Spain, are examples of the Empire’s expansive reach. A less visible sign of Roman influence is Spain’s language, which is firmly rooted in Latin, the language of the Romans.

Which of these most accurately describes the author’s purpose in this passage?

• 1. To persuade the reader to consider learning Latin.

• To inform the reader about the Spanish Language.

• To entertain the reader with stories about the Roman empire.

• 1. To inform reader about the effect of the Roman Empire.
