Question

what is one achievement of the ming dynasty?
the ming dynasty was the last of the chinese dynasties, ruling through the 1800s until it was overthrown in a civil war.
the forbidden city was destroyed for limiting access to the poor, and its golden bricks were redistributed throughout the city.
the ming dynasty imported all of its tea, silk, and porcelain from around the world; it seldom needed to produce any products of its own.
the ming dynasty produced zheng he, a skilled navigator whose voyages predated famous europeans.

Explanation:

To determine the correct achievement of the Ming Dynasty, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect as the Qing Dynasty was the last Chinese dynasty, not the Ming.
• The second option is incorrect; the Forbidden City was not destroyed for such a reason, and its golden bricks were not redistributed in that manner.
• The third option is incorrect because the Ming Dynasty was known for producing tea, silk, and porcelain domestically, not importing them.
• The fourth option is correct: Zheng He was a skilled navigator from the Ming Dynasty, and his voyages (like the treasure voyages) predated famous European explorations, showcasing Ming's maritime and exploration achievements.

Answer:

The Ming Dynasty produced Zheng He, a skilled navigator whose voyages predated famous Europeans.
