#1) Which of the following reflects Theodora's attitude about dealing with the Nika Riots?

Answer: It is shameful for an emperor to flee the rioters.
Theodora was the wife of emperor Justinian I. During the Nika riots Justinian and his officials prepared to flee. At a meeting of the goverment coucil, Theodora spoke out against leaving the palace and underlined the significance of someone who died as a ruler instead of living as an exile or in hiding.

I hope it helps, Regards.
