Explanation:

For the map-based question (question 3):

• Compare the 1750 and 1763 maps: French claims (purple in 1750) are nearly gone in 1763, meaning France lost most North American land claims. Option b is wrong because British claims expanded beyond French ones. Option c is wrong because Louisiana was French-controlled before the war. Option d is wrong because Canada became British after the war.

For question 4:

Encomiendas were a system where conquistadors were granted land and the labor of Indigenous peoples, who were forced to work under harsh, brutal conditions. Option b is a related but not direct effect of the encomienda system itself; options c and d are false as Indigenous people had no such rights.

For question 5:

Osei Tutu's Asante kingdom had a centralized, merit-based bureaucracy with efficient administrative officials, similar to Ming China's merit-based civil service system. Option b is not a shared trait, option c is incorrect as Ming China did not have a slave trade monopoly with Europeans.

Answer:

1. a. The French lost in the European competition for claims in North America.
2. a. forced to work under brutal conditions
3. a. officials were chosen by merit and ran an efficient bureaucracy.
