To answer Question 4, you can compare the statements one by one to determine the best answer:
Statement 1: Both China and Japan were forced to sign unequal treaties.
- This statement is correct for both China and Japan during the imperial period. Western powers imposed unequal treaties on both countries, which resulted in unfavorable terms for China and Japan.

- This statement is not entirely accurate. While China did face territorial concessions as a result of imperialism, Japan did not cede any land to the Americans during this time.
Statement 3: Both China and Japan were able to learn a lot from Western nations.
- This statement is true for both countries. Both China and Japan actively sought to learn from Western nations, adopting various aspects of Western culture, technology, and governance to modernize their societies.
Statement 4: Both Japan and China were forced to carry the cost of shipwrecked sailors.
- This statement is specific to China and does not apply to Japan. China was forced to pay indemnities and bear the cost of shipwrecked sailors, while Japan did not face this particular issue under imperialism.
