Select all that apply. Which statements about the peoples who took over the former western Roman provinces are correct?
Germanic-speaking peoples such as the Goths and the Vandals set up kingdoms on former Roman land.✓Correct answer
These peoples conquered the eastern Roman empire as well and ruled it from its own capital.
The Franks were one of these Germanic-speaking peoples and built a kingdom of their own.✓Correct answer
The Franks were a seafaring people from the far north who arrived in the ninth century.
Explanation
The kingdoms that replaced Roman government in the west were founded by Germanic-speaking groups, the Goths, Vandals and Franks among them, who settled on provincial land and took over much of its administration rather than destroying everything on it. Giving the Franks a northern seafaring origin is the closest trap, because it confuses them with raiders whose attacks began three centuries after these kingdoms already existed.
