Explanation:

• Question 14: Ashoka was the greatest ruler of the Mauryan Empire. He expanded the empire and later promoted Buddhism. Buddha was a religious figure (founder of Buddhism), not an empire ruler. Maury is just the name - root of the dynasty. Vedas are ancient Hindu scriptures.
• Question 15: Huang - Ti means Yellow Emperor. He is a legendary figure in Chinese history. The Yellow River is Huang He. There is no “Yellow Emprie” (likely a mis - spelling). The Yellow Sea is a body of water.
• Question 16: The first communities in China existed along the Huang He (Yellow River). The Beijing River is not a major river associated with the first Chinese communities. The Ganges River is in India. There is no major “Shanghai River” (Shanghai is a city, and its waterways are not the cradle of early Chinese civilization like the Huang He).

Answer:

1. Ashoka
2. Yellow Emperor
3. Huang He
