Question 1 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which of the following is true of Askia the Great?

Answer
A
He wanted to do away with Islamic rule.
B
He was a proponent of learning and culture.
C
He wanted to do away with slavery.
D
He was peaceful and disliked conflict.

Explanation

Askia the Great ruled the Songhai Empire and supported Islamic scholarship and education, especially in centers such as Timbuktu. This makes “He was a proponent of learning and culture” the true statement. He promoted Islamic rule rather than trying to end it, and he also expanded his empire through military campaigns, so the other descriptions do not fit.
