The correct answer is "He shared power with warlords."
To find this answer, you can analyze the information about the Zhou king's control of his vast kingdom. The options provided can be assessed one by one:
- The first two options, "He killed all the nobles," cannot be the correct answers because they are repeated and do not align with historical records.
- The third option, "He destroyed all traces of Shang culture," does not pertain to the Zhou king's control of his kingdom and is therefore incorrect.
- The fourth option, "He shared power with warlords," is the correct answer. This answer aligns with historical records, as the Zhou king did indeed share power with regional warlords to maintain control over his vast kingdom.
- The last option, "He placed family members in charge of regions," is also correct as it complements the idea of shared power with family members being assigned regional control.
Therefore, the correct answer is that the Zhou king controlled his vast kingdom by sharing power with warlords.
