Question

read the passage about mozi and his followers, and use it to answer the question below.

like mozi himself, many of mozis followers came from the lower classes of society. these groups of people suffered greatly during the frequent battles and long sieges, or attacks on cities, of the warring states period. many of these men had also been forced to fight as soldiers in large armies, which had been a dangerous and scary experience. so, they wanted to end warfare and suffering.

mozis followers often lived and worked together. based on the information above, which of these projects were mozis followers most likely to work on?

ploughing fields and building barns for animals
teaching music and playing musical instruments
creating fine jewelry to sell in markets
building walls to protect cities from invading armies

Explanation:

Mozi's followers came from lower classes, suffered from warfare, and wanted to end suffering. Building walls to protect cities from invading armies aligns with their goal to stop warfare (as sieges/attacks were a problem). The other options (ploughing barns, teaching music, making jewelry) don't relate to ending warfare/suffering.

Answer:

D. building walls to protect cities from invading armies
