Question

what was askia the great’s attitude toward learning?
he wanted to use it to influence trade.
he wanted to do away with it.
he wanted to keep it as a key feature.
he wanted to renew its importance.

Explanation:

Askia the Great (Muhammad Ture) of the Songhai Empire was known for his support of learning and scholarship. He promoted education, especially Islamic learning, and wanted to renew its importance in the empire. The option "He wanted to renew its importance" aligns with his efforts to enhance the role of learning (including religious and secular knowledge) in his realm. Other options: using it for trade is not his primary attitude toward learning, doing away with it is opposite to his actions, and "keeping as a key feature" is less accurate than renewing its importance as he actively worked to enhance educational and scholarly pursuits.

Answer:

He wanted to renew its importance.
