Explanation:

Question 20

The excerpt from the Magna Carta says the customs and liberties shall be observed by "all of our kingdom, as well clergy as laymen". This means the laws apply to everyone, not just a specific group like serfs, knights, or clergy. So option b is correct.

In the 13th century, when the Mongols invaded Japan, typhoons (known as "kamikaze" or divine winds) destroyed their fleets, forcing them to retreat. The other options are incorrect: Japanese forces didn't join with samurai armies in this context (samurai were part of Japanese forces), they didn't join with Korean warriors, and they didn't block ships at the shoreline in a way that defeated the Mongols—typhoons were the key factor. So option c is correct.

Japan is an archipelago with its population spread across multiple islands. This geographical feature made unification and governance difficult. Option a is wrong (Japan has natural resources), option b is about population change (not a geographical feature), and option d is wrong (Japan has no vast deserts). So option c is correct.

Answer:

b. The laws of the land apply to all people.
