The political situation took a turn for the worse under Antiochus Epiphanes after 175 BC. This suggests that there was a significant event or series of events that occurred during or after this time period that negatively impacted the political climate. Without further context, it is difficult to determine the specific reasons for this decline, but it could be attributed to factors such as conflicts, power struggles, or policies implemented by Antiochus Epiphanes.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

A. True

Explanation
The Maccabean Revolt began around 165-166 BC. This statement is true. The Maccabean Revolt was a Jewish rebellion against the Seleucid Empire, led by the Maccabees, a Jewish priestly family. It started in 167 BC when the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes outlawed Judaism and desecrated the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. The revolt lasted for several years and eventually resulted in the establishment of an independent Jewish state in Judea. The correct answer is true.

  The Pharisees
- B.

B. Sadducees

Explanation
The Sadducees were the closest group related to the Maccabean Priest. The Pharisees were another prominent Jewish group during that time, but they had different beliefs and practices compared to the Maccabean Priest. The Essenes were also a Jewish sect, but they were known for their ascetic lifestyle and were not directly related to the Maccabean Priest. Therefore, the Sadducees were the closest group in terms of their connection to the Maccabean Priest.

The New Testament also includes instances where Jesus spoke Aramaic, such as when he addressed people or performed miracles. Additionally, the Gospels mention Aramaic words that Jesus used, which were later translated into Greek. Therefore, based on these reasons, it can be concluded that Aramaic was Jesus' native language.
