Question

1.

The Mandate of Heaven was the idea used in which of the following?
A) the Shang social order
B) the Chinese dynastic cycle
C) the feudal system
D) the Egyptian hierarchy

Answer 1

B) the Chinese dynastic cycle

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dynastic Circle in China ..... The New Dynasty: Restore peace Redistributes land to the peasants Appoints loyal officers repairs defensive walls Build roads, canals, and irrigation projects

After several generations the new dynasty becomes aging dynasty

Problems symbolic of lost mandate: Peasant rebellions; foolds; famine, earthquake; armed bandits in provinces; invasions

New Dynasty claims the Mandate of Heaven

Answer 2

The correct answer is A, the Shang social order.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can't be C, the feudal system, because that relates to Europe. It can't be B, the Chinese dynastic cycle, because that relates to ancestry. It cannot be D, the Egyptian hierarchy, because the Mandate of Heaven was created in China, the answer legitimately has the word "Egypt" in there. So, you are left with A, the Shang social order, which makes since I previously mentioned that the Mandate of Heaven was created in China.
