Explanation:

Question 17

Legalism in ancient China, as practiced by Qin Shihuangdi, emphasized strict laws, harsh punishments, and centralized control. The option "He used strict, brutal policies to control his people" aligns with Legalist principles. The other options (being a nice guy, valuing education, encouraging arts) do not fit Legalist ideology.

A republic is a form of government where power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and there is no monarch (king/queen/emperor). The first option matches this definition. The second option describes a different system, the third is incorrect (republics can have slavery), and the fourth is irrelevant to Rome's republic.

Answer:

A. He used strict, brutal policies to control his people
