challenge: the chinese communist party derived most of its support from which group?

Explanation:

Question 1

Corsets in Europe and foot - binding in China restricted women's activity, which is a feature of patriarchy (a social system where men hold power and women are subordinate, with practices that limit women's freedom). Social Darwinism is about survival of the fittest in society, specialization of labor is about dividing work, and social mobility is about moving between social classes. So the correct option is b.

In the 19th century, opium trade linked Great Britain, India, and China. Britain sold opium from India to China, leading to the Opium Wars. Silk, coffee, and sugar were not the main links in this context. So the correct option is c.

The Sepoy Mutiny in India and the Boxer Rebellion in China were both responses to foreign domination. The Sepoys rebelled against British rule, and the Boxers fought against foreign powers in China. They were not about halting drug trade (though opium was part of foreign influence in China, but not the main goal of these rebellions), promoting imperialism, or overturning Mongol control (Mongol control was long gone by these times). So the correct option is a.

Answer:

b. Patriarchy
