Question

according to the passage, what did the title genghis khan mean? great warrior. wise leader. universal ruler. founder of cities.

Explanation:

To answer this, we rely on historical knowledge about Genghis Khan. The title "Genghis Khan" (or "Chinggis Khan") is historically understood to mean "Universal ruler" (also sometimes translated as "Oceanic Ruler" or "Mighty Ruler", but "Universal ruler" aligns with the option here). The other options: "Great warrior" is a description of his abilities but not the meaning of the title, "Wise leader" is a general description, and "Founder of cities" is incorrect as his focus was on conquest and empire - building rather than city - founding.

Answer:

C. 'Universal ruler.'
