Read the following paragraph and answer the question below. Few could have predicted that Ravenna, Italy, which began as a small Roman country town, isolated amidst swamps and marshes and far from the sea, would become in its prime larger and more splendid than Rome itself. In its early days, Ravenna saw Caesar crossing the nearby Rubicon on his way to founding the world's greatest empire. In maturity, Ravenna was the center of a three-way struggle between Rome, Constantinople, and the northern Gothic kingdoms for portions of the empire. In her declining years, Ravenna witnessed Charlemagne entering as a conqueror, Giotto painting murals, and Dante writing the Divine Comedy. Select the inference suggested by the facts of this paragraph.

-Ravenna, Italy, is a cultural and political center.

-Ravenna, Italy, has become a less important cultural and political center than it was in the past.

-Ravenna's swampy location led to its decline.

    - Ravenna, Italy, has become a less important cultural and political center than it was in the past.

    Explanation:

    This is one of the ideas suggested by the passage. The author talks about the success and importance that Ravenna enjoyed during its prime. The implication that the author makes is that the prime of the city happened in the past, which means that Ravenna is likely to be a less important cultural and political center than it was in the past.
