Answer 1

Read this.. it should help you some with your answer.

The Empire, a bastion of Christianity and one of the prime trade centers in the world, helped to shield Western Europe from early Muslim expansion, provided a stable gold currency for the Mediterranean region, influenced the laws, political systems, and customs of much of Europe and the Middle East, and preserved much of the literary works and scientific knowledge of ancient Greece, Rome, and many other cultures. The finest Byzantine literary works were Hymns and devotionals. The other area where the Byzantines excelled was in practical writing. While rarely works of genius, a series of competent, diligent writers, both male and female, produced many works of practical value in the fields of public administration, military affairs, and the practical sciences. The early theological work of the Byzantines was important in the development of western thought. Historiography influenced later Russian chroniclers.

Answer 5

You can use this as a reference. Please do not copy this word for word.

The Byzantine Empire contributed to art, specifically Christian images and icons
dedicated to the glorification of the Christian religion. The style that
characterized Byzantine art was almost entirely concerned with religious
expression; specifically with the translation of church theology into artistic
terms. Byzantine visual art began with mosaics decorating the walls and domes
of churches. The greatest collection of this type of early Biblical art is in the
monastery of St Catherine in Sinai, founded in the 6th century by the Emperor
Justinian.
