This is correct.

To verify your answer, let's break down the options:

1. The communists were elected: This statement is not correct. The Communist Party of China did participate in elections, but they did not come to power through a democratic election process.

2. The communists gained control after a long civil war: This option is the correct answer. After years of fighting against the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) led by Chiang Kai-shek, the Communist Party of China, led by Mao Zedong, emerged victorious in the Chinese Civil War in 1949. The Communists established the People's Republic of China as a communist nation.

3. The communists gained control in a swift coup d'état: This statement is not accurate. The Communist Party's rise was not a swift coup. It was a result of a prolonged conflict.

4. The emperor appointed a communist prime minister: This option is not correct either. China's last emperor, Puyi, abdicated in 1912, long before the Communists came to power. The Communist Party's ascension to power was not influenced by the emperor's appointment.

In conclusion, your answer was not accurate. The correct answer is that the communists gained control after a long civil war against the Nationalist Party.
