Explanation:

Question 17 (Chronological Order of Mongolian History Events)

To solve this, we analyze each event's historical timeline:

1. Enemies poison and kill Mongol leader Yesügei: This happened before Temüjin (Genghis Khan) rose to power, so this is the earliest event (1).
2. Temüjin is given the title of Genghis Khan...: Genghis Khan unified the Mongols and began conquests around 1206, so this is next (2).
3. The Mongol empire fractures into four hordes: After Genghis Khan’s death, the empire split (around the mid - 13th century), so this is (3).
4. Chinese Manchu people defeat the Mongols...: The Manchu (Qing) conquest of Mongolia occurred in the 17th century, so this is (4).
5. Mongolia allies itself with Russia and declares independence from China: This happened in 1911 - 1912, so this is (5).
6. Mongolia’s first free elections take place: After the fall of Soviet - style rule, free elections came later (in the 1990s), so this is (6).

Question 18 (Coordinates of Ulaanbaatar)

Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia, which is in the Northern Hemisphere (so latitude is north, positive) and in Asia (East of the Prime Meridian, so longitude is east, positive).

• \(48^\circ \text{N}, 23^\circ \text{W}\): \(23^\circ \text{W}\) is in the Atlantic (Western Hemisphere), incorrect.
• \(48^\circ \text{N}, 107^\circ \text{E}\): Matches Mongolia’s location (Northern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, correct longitude for Mongolia).
• \(30^\circ \text{S}, 107^\circ \text{W}\): Southern Hemisphere (S) and Western Hemisphere (W), incorrect.
• \(70^\circ \text{S}, 100^\circ \text{E}\): Southern Hemisphere (S), incorrect.
