1. Yuan tried to rule China without...

A. an army
B. understanding the influence of new Western ideas.
C. dictating his views
D. the use of terror

In my book it states C and D...but it also says that Yuan was in charge of the army and did not understand the Western ideas. so I find myself unsure. If I had to choose it would be B?

2. Sun Yat-sen...
A. wanted to become a dictator for life.
B. wanted China to become a constitutional democracy.
C. thought China should follow Confucianism.
D. defended the emperor against uprisings.

I think it is C - because of his 3 stage reform.

Ms. Sue can you help me - please??

I agree with both of your answers.

Ms. Sue I actually meant B for #2 - do you really think it is C?

the answer for #2 is B

1. To determine the correct answer for the first question, let's analyze the options and the information provided:

A. Yuan tried to rule China without an army: This is incorrect because the information states that Yuan was in charge of the army.

B. Yuan tried to rule China without understanding the influence of new Western ideas: This is partially correct because the information states that Yuan did not understand the Western ideas.

C. Yuan tried to rule China without dictating his views: This is incorrect because the information does not mention anything about Yuan not dictating his views.

Based on the given information, the best answer would be B. Yuan tried to rule China without understanding the influence of new Western ideas.
