how were akbar and suleyman alike? choose three correct answers.
both created efficient governments.
both promoted religious tolerance.
both created their own religion.
both were skilled military generals.
both created a code of law.
① this question requires at least 3 answers.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answers, we analyze each option based on the historical context of Akbar (Mughal Empire) and Suleyman (Ottoman Empire):

1. "Both created efficient governments": Akbar centralized Mughal administration, and Suleyman reformed Ottoman governance (e.g., law, bureaucracy), so this is correct.
2. "Both promoted religious tolerance": Akbar (e.g., Din - i - Ilahi, inclusive policies) and Suleyman (protected non - Muslim communities) promoted religious tolerance, so this is correct.
3. "Both were skilled military generals": Akbar expanded Mughal territories through military campaigns, and Suleyman led Ottoman military conquests (e.g., Hungary, Mediterranean), so this is correct.

Other options: "Both created their own religion" is incorrect (Akbar’s Din - i - Ilahi was not a new religion in the traditional sense, and Suleyman followed Islam). "Both created a code of law" is incorrect (Suleyman created a legal code, but Akbar’s governance was more administrative than a formal legal code).

Answer:

A. Both created efficient governments
B. Both promoted religious tolerance
C. Both were skilled military generals
