The first response is for the following article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-21747567. Please read the article and answer the questions below (option A) in 200 words. (Please provide detailed answers)
Option #A: Cyrus Cylinder – How a Persian monarch inspired Jefferson
After reading, you should be able to answer at least one of these questions. In all cases you’ll need to express an opinion about the topic:

What two key historical figures are discussed in the article, and what’s their connection?
How and why is the Cyrus Cylinder important to the kinds of freedom enjoyed in liberal Western-style democracies such as Britain and the United States?
What are its specific connections to American history, and given contemporary politics (see recent US-Iran news stories, for example), why is it fitting – and ironic – that it should have toured the United States?

The second response is for the following article:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5287124….. Please read the article and answer the questions below (option D) in 100 words. (Please provide detailed answers)

Option #D: Thera eruption was bigger still
After reading the article page, you should be able to answer at least three of these questions. In all cases you’ll need to express an opinion about the topic:
The destruction of Thera over 3500 year ago probably inspired Plato’s account from 1000 years later (not mentioned in the article) of what popular cultural myth? (Hint: it’s in the video!) What evidence has emerged to further corroborate the eruption? What further effects would have been felt then, and where? In what specific ways might this story differ from the recent theory about the Kofels event?
That is a summarization of the assignment. Below are the instructions from the prompt please go over it to have a better idea  about the assignment.
Protocol: 

The board is a chance for you to express your own opinions and personalities, so you can go off in different directions, as long as you’re clearly responding to the chosen topics.
You must choose one topic from each module listed (there are always two). For this week, therefore, if your main response is from Module 3, your second (short) response must be from Module 4 (or vice versa). You will lose credit if you don’t follow this policy, no matter how lengthy or well-written your posts. 
Do NOT attach a separate document with your typed comments. Instead, write/reply directly in the thread.
Always title your post with the name of the article or a brief summary of its content, so people know at a glance your focus (e.g., “Thera mega-eruption,” “My reaction to Heinrich Schliemann,” etc.). See Module 3 or 4 for the original articles/videos.
Feel free to post articles, images, etc. I might award extra points to clever and relevant links (I gave a couple of examples in the slides that followed Stonehenge in the Module 1 slideshow). But please – no tired memes or tweets, and absolutely nothing cruel or off-color.   

Grading: 

Before you start writing, you’re expected to read all topics, which are testable on the exam.
You get an initial 5 points for writing a post on-topic (as opposed to chatting about your love life, your favorite bands, etc.). You get a further 10 points for writing a coherent and reflective consideration of that chosen topic. Take it seriously; think of it as a mini-essay. This initial post must be at least 200 words and must include a word count at the end. Once posted, it will allow the board to open and connect you with your peers.
Then you get 5 points each for a response to a topic from the other module, and one response to a student post on any topic (you’re welcome to talk to multiple students too, of course). That way you’re always discussing at least two different topics from two different modules. These second and third posts must be at least 50 words each.
If there’s no second topic yet under discussion, be the first and start a new thread!
You should be sympathetic to and interested in what your peers have to say, and it should be clear from your response that you’ve read the article(s) in question. Frivolous, dishonest, or obviously undeveloped responses will earn No Credit.
I want everyone to feel their opinions are respected and equally valid (whether you consider yourself a “good” writer or not), so as long as you do this to my satisfaction, you’ll usually get full credit. However, you’ll lose points for any missing, off-topic, or poorly developed elements (initial post/second post/peer response). Therefore, follow the directions and you’ll get the points: it’s Either/Or!

Let’s review: 

Using the questions below as a jump-off point, respond to one of these assigned readings (200 words minimum). Once you’ve done that, the board will open up and you can see what everyone else has written, including initial comments from me.
Take your time to absorb what other people have to say, which may help you choose a second topic or focus your thoughts.
When you’re ready, comment on a second topic, chosen from the other module. This can be a new thread that you start or in response to another student’s comment on that second topic. Then you must comment on at least one other student post (topic/module open).
At least 300 words total are expected (be sure to add word count).
Refer back to the particular module (3 or 4, in this case) for the relevant material.
REMINDER: all readings are assigned and testable on the exam, whether or not you write on them as your D-Board response.

Module 3 options (choose one):
Option #A: Cyrus Cylinder – How a Persian monarch inspired Jefferson

How and why is the Cyrus Cylinder important to the kinds of freedom enjoyed in liberal Western-style democracies such as Britain and the United States?

What specific details (2 or 3, at least) did Alice Kober determine about Linear B before her death? How was she know for organizing her ideas? When did Michael Ventris first become interested in Linear B? How does he describe the puzzle of translating it? What’s one example of the result of his efforts? How did he and Kober get along? How did each of them die? Finally, as also noted in the Bettany Hughes documentary, what have we learned from the Linear B translations? And what kind of cultural record did NOT emerge from them? This last point allows you to use some imagination!
