Question 3 • World History

Which explains why sultan Suleiman I of the Ottoman Empire was called “Suleiman the Magnificent?”

Answer
A
He created Istanbul during the early part of the Empire’s history.
B
He built the Taj Mahal during a peak in the Empire’s history.
C
He conquered India during the early part of the Empire’s history.
D
He oversaw advances during a peak in the Empire’s history.

Explanation

Suleiman I ruled during the Ottoman Empire’s peak, when its territory, government, arts, and architecture flourished. He sponsored important legal and cultural developments, which helped earn him the title “the Magnificent.” He did not conquer India or build the Taj Mahal; Istanbul was already an important Ottoman city before his reign.
