Answer 1

The correct option is B We study history because we can learn from the past.

Studying history helps us to learn from the mistakes of our ancestors. We can also learn from the wise decisions they made. This way, we can learn to avoid conflict and possible wars. History teaches us how to improve the policies and rules made by our ancestors and how to avoid the problems that they had to face.
