Question

11. Which of the following would Marco Polo most likely have said about the Yuan dynasty under Kublai Khan?

A. " I envy the people for their freedom and equality"
B. " I fear the empire will collapse for lack of structure and society"
C. " I have never seen such power and prosperity "
D. " I worry for the future of such an impoverished state"

Answer 1

The correct answer should be C. " I have never seen such power and prosperity "

The people did everything in their power to impress Polo because he was an explorer and he would speak of their prosperity and wealth when he went back. It is no wonder that he brought back many innovative things that people didn't even believe existed until his journeys.
