Mongol Empire — Unit test

Question 14 • World History Q2 - Reid - 6220 - 2026/27

Which statement correctly describes the Tang Dynasty?

Answer

The dynasty was the first to establish civil service exams in China to identify the best workers for government positions.

The dynasty created a vast empire that stretched from the East China Sea westward across China.

The dynasty encouraged the growth of artisans in different fields to produce works that inspired a Golden Age of culture for China.

The dynasty ended by the invasion and takeover of Kublai Khan and the Mongol Dynasty.

Explanation

The Tang Dynasty supported artists and artisans, and its achievements in fields such as poetry, painting, and ceramics helped make the period a Golden Age of Chinese culture. Choice A is incorrect because civil service exams began under the Sui Dynasty, before the Tang. Kublai Khan’s Mongol conquest came much later, so choice D describes the end of the Song Dynasty, not the Tang.
