1. To determine the staple food that was transplanted from Southeast Asia to the Mediterranean world as a result of the Islamic Empire, we can analyze the options.
- A. Wheat: Wheat is not native to Southeast Asia, so it is unlikely that it was transplanted from there to the Mediterranean world.
- B. Rice: Rice is a staple food in Southeast Asia and was indeed transplanted to the Mediterranean world through trade during the Islamic Empire.
- C. Yams: Yams are not native to Southeast Asia, so they are unlikely to have been transplanted from there to the Mediterranean world.
- D. Potatoes: Potatoes are native to the Americas and were introduced to Europe much later, so they are not a likely option.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Rice.
2. To understand how Alfred the Great secured his modern reputation as a state-builder, we can examine the options.
- A. Giving free land and tax breaks to peasants: This action may have contributed to social stability and development but does not directly address Alfred's reputation as a state-builder.
- B. Encouraging trade through tax incentives to merchants and businessmen: This action may have stimulated economic growth, but it does not directly address Alfred's reputation as a state-builder.
- C. Being lavishly generous to monks: While Alfred was known for his religious piety, being generous to monks does not directly address his reputation as a state-builder.
- D. Forcing people to live in militarized colonies: This option seems unlikely and does not align with the historical record.
Based on historical evidence, Alfred the Great secured his modern reputation as a state-builder predominantly through his military efforts, including successfully defending England against Viking invasions and organizing a system of fortified towns and defenses. Therefore, none of the given options accurately describe how Alfred the Great secured his reputation as a state-builder.
3. To determine one of the primary ways that Buddhism spread into Eastern Asia, we can evaluate the options.
- A. The beauty of Buddhist art: While Buddhist art played a role in the spread of Buddhism, it is not a primary way that Buddhism spread into Eastern Asia.
- B. War: While conflicts and conquests might have contributed to the spread of Buddhism to some extent, it is not a primary or predominant method.
- C. News of its success: This option is vague and does not provide an accurate explanation of how Buddhism spread in Eastern Asia.
- D. Trade: Trade, particularly along the Silk Road, played a significant role in the spread of Buddhism into Eastern Asia. Merchants traveling along these trade routes often carried Buddhist ideas, scriptures, and practices with them, introducing Buddhism to new regions.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Trade.
4. To identify the combinations of food introduced to the islands colonized by the Polynesians, we can analyze the options.
- A. Sugar cane, chickens, and kava: Kava is a beverage made from the root of a plant native to the Pacific Islands. Chickens are also believed to have been introduced to the Pacific Islands by the Polynesians. However, sugar cane is native to Southeast Asia and not typically associated with Polynesian colonization.
- B. Sugar cane, pigs, and breadfruit: Sugar cane and pigs were both introduced to the Pacific Islands by the Polynesians. Breadfruit is also linked to Polynesian colonization and was brought with them as a staple food source.
- C. Pigs, taro, and coconuts: Pigs, taro, and coconuts were all introduced to the Pacific Islands by the Polynesians and are associated with their colonization efforts.
- D. Bananas, breadfruit, and cattle: Bananas were native to the Pacific Islands and are not typically associated with the introduction by the Polynesians. Cattle were not introduced to the Pacific Islands until much later.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Pigs, taro, and coconuts.
