Before St. Thomas More was beheaded, his final words were "The king's good servant, but God's first." He said this in order to show he meant not to betray his country, but that he was not willing to betray his God. He was martyred along with Bishop Fisher, on July 6th 1535.
He was famous because he defend the law of God against King Henry VIII.
because he got the assignment of reciever of memory which is the most important job in the community
"Utopia" represents the ideal whereas "quasi" simply precludes such a state, reflecting instead the reality that will forever antagonize the ideal. To combine the words is crass, but in a post-modern sense, it aberrates enough in the readers mind to work as a single term.
A Utopian society has no leaders, everyone does as he needs to do, automatically without direction or guidance. That is part of what makes it Utopian.
I believ the answer to this question is political division, good luck with 2020 :)

I just took the e2020 assesment.... political division is NOT the answer. Sorry.
The correct answer is "severe economic problems"
A utopia is a perfect society or a perfect place. Some properties would be a place where there are no problems, no conflicts, no murders, no crimes, and everyone is happy.
The essential property of utopia is that it is an imaginary place, not a real one.
A communist utopia is an imaginary (so far) society that has no leadership, currency, private ownership, laws or need for any of these things. Ownership of everything is communal, to be used individually as needed. The members produce what is needed for the group and are rewarded by general esteem and respect. Dispute is settled by consensus, rules are consensual, and the disabled or unable are cared for by the surplus product of the community.
The tribes of the San in southern Africa were probably the closest to this ideal. the tribes were small and members were related. Their system of communal ownership has broken down with the influx of foreign goods and influence. Much as was depicted in the film "The Gods Must be Crazy"
Many American and circum-Arctic groups had aspects of communism, but only vestiges remain.
It's "a utopia". Grammar rules for a/an are based on phonetics, not spelling: a eulogy, an apple, a yellow bird, an SAT score...are all correct.
The people felt that they needed a community in which they felt safe from harm in all ways
A Democracy because the citizens voted for their officials.
Utopia was coined by Sir Thomas More in 1551 from the Greek (ootopia) meaning "no (such) place."
ou "not"

topos "place"
It was extended to "any perfect place" somewhere in 1613.
Not at all. Socialists and utopians invariable forget that the inhabitants of their communities are populated with flawed human beings. There has never been an example of a socialist utopian community that lasted for longer than a year or two.
Thomas More was the chancellor to King Henry VIII and refused to declare him as the head of the Church in England when Henry split from the Catholic Church. For that he was imprisoned. When he further refused to take an oath of allegiance to the king he was tried for treason and executed.
I believe you mean Anti-Utopia, a menacing and totally (Negative) society as a fictional device. some of the novels on Atlantis are of this type, the move mis-titled (Captain Nemo and the Underwater City) fictional domain- called Temple Mir (Russian for Peace) might fit inthis category as he abducted people against their will and in effect was a(Slaver) Escape was out of the question as was contact with the surface world. many folks would find this techno-atlantis something of a Concentration Camp atmosphere. Some social commentary was in the film the dictator (Nemo) sought to regale his captives by showtimes such as (All-Seas Day) a sort of nautical Olympics, to keep the people down (and divcert attention formt he darker aspects of the Colony) IT couod have been handled better by setting the tale in, say Interwar Russia and having a sort of Soviet Von Braun as the head man!
