to protect the emperor in the afterlife

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. The army was made of thousands of terracotta warriors in different battle positions with real-life weapons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chinese Emperor Qin Shi Huang who ruled from 247BC to 221BC was responsible for the unification of China as well as the construction of the Terracotta Army. About this, the text explains one of the main purposes of this was "to serve as a reminder that his forces triumphed".

This suggests Quin Shi Huang wanted to show his enemies the abilities and power of his army by recreating this through statues. One detail that shows this is "The army was made of thousands of terracotta warriors in different battle positions with real-life weapons" because the number of soldiers and the diversity in weapons and fighting positions demonstrate the strength and power of the real army.
