19. **D. A & B are possible answers.** A lack of government support and negative public attitudes could both hinder the progress of cottage industries. While B is less likely a primary factor, it isn't entirely impossible if the quality of goods was perceived as poor.<br /><br />20. **D. Decentralization system of administration.** Tewodros II aimed to centralize power, not decentralize it. His reforms focused on strengthening the military, reducing the power of the church, and unifying the empire.<br /><br />21. **B. Ayshal.** The Battle of Ayshal was fought during the reign of Yohannes IV against the Egyptians. Debarqi, Gura, and Guramba were all battles fought by Tewodros II.<br /><br />22. **A.

Gara Mulata.** Lij Iyasu was captured and died in Gara Mulata after being deposed.<br /><br />26. **C.
