To answer these questions, we need to evaluate each option and determine which one is correct or false based on historical knowledge. Let's go through each question one by one:
6. The only country in Southeast Asia to maintain its independence was
- To find the correct answer, we need to know which country in Southeast Asia maintained its independence while others did not.
- It's important to have a basic understanding of the history of Southeast Asia.
- We can eliminate options C (Vietnam) and D (Java) as historically, both of these regions were not able to maintain complete independence during the stated timeframe.
- Option A (Cambodia) is a possibility, but we cannot assume it is the correct answer without further knowledge.
- This leaves us with option B (Siam). We need to verify whether Siam is indeed the correct answer by looking up its history during the specified period.
7. While imprisoned, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. In this work, he laid out his views on all the following, except
- We need to find out which of the options was not covered in Hitler's book Mein Kampf.
- Look for information about the content of Mein Kampf.
- Evaluate each option and determine if it aligns with Hitler's views as presented in his book.
- By analyzing the options, we can eliminate options A (an alliance with Italy) and D (anti-Semitism), as both were significant themes in Mein Kampf.
- To be sure, we need to verify whether Hitler's book included discussions about Germany's need for increased "living space" and Aryan racial superiority, which leaves us with option B. In this case, we need to confirm if these themes were indeed covered in Mein Kampf.
8. In Australia, Governor Arthur Phillip moved the penal colony
- To answer this question, we need to know how the penal colony in Australia was moved and where it was relocated to.
- Research the history of Australia's penal colony.
- Analyze each option and determine the correct answer based on the historical events.
- Verify the information related to Governor Arthur Phillip and his role in the movement of the penal colony.
- Based on the information gathered, select the option that corresponds to the historical narrative.
...and so on for each question. By following these general steps, we can analyze each question and arrive at the correct or false answer by gathering information and verifying historical facts.
