Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.32 Comparative Classical Empires skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which synthesis best compares how classical empires maintained power over diverse peoples?

AThey maintained power only by using the same single policy everywhere.

BThey avoided armies, taxes, roads, elites, and ideas because diversity made empire impossible.

CThey all became identical democracies with no social hierarchy or provincial rule.

DThey combined coercion, revenue collection, infrastructure, elite cooperation, and cultural or legal legitimacy, but the balance differed across Persia, Rome, Han China, Maurya, Gupta, and other empires.

Solution & Explanation:The strongest synthesis recognizes shared imperial problems and different combinations of solutions.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the policy-statement table to identify the best empire match. Which comparison is best supported?

AThe table shows all four empires used the same policy in the same way.

BThe table proves that none of the empires used law, officials, or ideology.

CThe table contrasts Persian accommodation, Qin standardization, Roman citizenship and law, and Han Confucian bureaucracy as different tools of imperial rule.

DThe table matches Persia with Roman citizenship, Qin with Buddhist edicts, Rome with Confucian exams, and Han with satrapies.

Solution & Explanation:The policy statements align with distinct imperial strategies rather than one universal model.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A question asks for the comparison that best distinguishes imperial governance, economy, social hierarchy, culture, or geographic reach. Which answer strategy is strongest?

AChoose the option with the most familiar empire name, even if the comparison is false.

BIdentify the specific category being compared and choose the option that accurately contrasts evidence from two or more empires.

CAssume all empires had identical governments because they were all large states.

DIgnore words such as economy, hierarchy, culture, and reach because they are decorative.

Solution & Explanation:This skill requires category-based comparison rather than recognition of isolated facts.
