Let's review your multiple-choice questions:<br /><br />* **29. The MAIN reason Columbus sailed west from Europe was to:**<br /> * **a. A brain pain sponsored...** (This option is nonsensical)<br /> * **b. obtain military technology** (While Europeans eventually sought military advantages, this wasn't Columbus's primary goal.)<br /> * **c. was to find... contact wion** (This option is incomplete and unclear.)<br /> * **d. trade in establish the Empire** (While empire-building followed, the initial goal was to find a westward trade route to Asia.)<br /><br /> The best answer here is closest to **d**. Columbus wanted to find a sea route to the East Indies (Asia) to access spices and other valuable goods. He believed sailing west was a quicker route than going east around Africa.<br /><br />* **30. In China, the terms "commune," "Great Leap Forward," and "Cultural Revolution" are associated with the:**<br /> * **a. Mandate of Heaven** (This is a much older concept related to the legitimacy of Chinese rulers.)<br /> * **b. Economic success of the Manchu dynasty** (These terms relate to a period after the Manchu dynasty.)<br /> * **c. Confucian emphasis on the five human relationships** (Confucianism is a philosophy predating the events referenced in the question.)<br /> * **d. leadership of Mao Zedong** (Correct. These programs and events were all part of Mao's leadership in Communist China.)<br /><br />* **31. How did European exploration of the Americas MOST affect the Inca and Aztec empires?**<br /> * **a. It caused the population to move inland...** (While some displacement occurred, it wasn't the most significant impact.)<br /> * **b. It encouraged tribal leaders to create alliances.** (Some alliances were formed, but often with Europeans against other Indigenous groups. This wasn't the most impactful effect.)<br /> * **c. It introduced diseases that resulted in a population decline.** (Correct. European diseases like smallpox devastated the Inca and Aztec populations, which had no immunity.)<br /> * **d. It reduced native reliance on agricultural production.** (The opposite is true. Colonization often forced Indigenous populations into specific agricultural labor.)<br /><br />* **32. A long-term result of the Industrial Revolution in Europe was:**<br /> * **a. an increase in the number of small farms** (Industrialization led to larger farms and fewer small farms.)<br /> * **b. a decline in international trade** (The opposite is true. Industrialization greatly increased international trade.)<br /> * **c. a general rise in the standard of living** (Correct. While unevenly distributed, industrialization eventually led to a higher standard of living for many.)<br /> * **d. a strengthening of the economic power of the nobility** (The Industrial Revolution shifted power towards industrialists and capitalists, away from the landed nobility.)<br /><br />* **33. Heavy military losses in World War I, food and fuel shortages, and opposition to the czar led to the:**<br /> * **a. French Revolution** (This predates World War I.)<br /> * **b.

Chinese Revolution** (While there were revolutions in China, this question describes the context of the Russian Revolution.)<br /> * **d. Cuban Revolution** (This is much later in the 20th century.)<br /><br />* **34. Which phrase BEST explains a reason for the beginning of European exploration of the Americas?**<br /> * **a. demands for economic resources** (Correct. The desire for spices, gold, and other resources was a major driver.)<br /> * **b. pressures from foreign invaders** (Europe was not facing significant foreign invasion at this time.)<br /> * **c. shortages of skilled labor** (While labor shortages existed in some areas, this wasn't a primary driver of exploration.)<br /> * **d. lack of agricultural diversity** (Europe did want new crops, but the primary drive was for valuable resources like spices and gold.)<br /><br />* **35. At the Congress of Vienna (1815), the governments of Europe reacted to the French Revolution and the rule of Napoleon by attempting to:**<br /> * **a. restore old regimes to power** (Correct. The Congress of Vienna aimed to restore the pre-revolutionary monarchies and order.)<br /> * **b. spread the idea of democracy** (The opposite is true. They sought to suppress democratic and revolutionary ideas.)<br /> * **c. encourage nationalist movements** (Nationalism was seen as a destabilizing force.)<br /> * **d. promote the European free-trade zone** (While some trade agreements existed, the focus was on political stability, not free trade.)<br /><br />* **36. What was an important effect of the invention of the printing press?**<br /> * **a. Gutenberg used his wealth... to support artists.** (While Gutenberg printed the Bible, this isn't the most significant impact of the printing press.)<br /> * **b. It led to the development of public libraries.** (Public libraries developed later.)<br /> * **c. It led to a renewed study of Latin and Greek.** (The Renaissance, which predates the printing press, saw a renewed interest in classical learning.)<br /> * **d. It increased literacy and the use of the vernacular.** (Correct. Printing made books more readily available, leading to increased literacy and the use of vernacular languages.)<br />
