Question

100 POINTS WHOEVER GETS THIS RIGHT

Why would an emperor have a betraying general killed on the polo playing field?

1.to make peace
2.to keep the general from following through with his plans
3.to make it look like an accident
4.to warn others, who might be following the general, not to do so

Answer 1

Its D

Step-by-step explanation:

I just did the test and The Chinese emperor who knew of the general's plans to overthrow his government deliberately invited the general to play in a polo match. The emperor then had his loyal players knock the general off his horse and beat him repeatedly around the head and chest area with their polo sticks. This was the emperor's way of warning other traitors not to follow the general's lead. By doing so would lead to their untimely death as well. If it was to look like an accident the repeated beating would not have been possible. A less public killing would only have gotten rid of the general and his plans. Therefore, this very public death was used as a warning to others.

Answer 2
