Question

who did confucius feel should run the government?
○ those of noble birth
○ men of superior quality
○ hereditary lords
○ one anointed by the gods

Explanation:

Confucius emphasized the importance of virtue and merit. He believed that those with superior moral and intellectual qualities (men of superior quality) should govern, rather than relying on noble birth, hereditary status, or divine appointment. The other options go against his teachings: noble birth and hereditary lords relate to traditional aristocratic rule, and divine anointment is not part of his philosophy.

Answer:

B. Men of superior quality
