Question

Shi Huangdi's armies expanded the empire to all of the areas of China except:

a: to the north, almost to the Gobi Desert.

b: the lands around both of China's major rivers.

c: To the east, into what is now Japan.

d: to the south, as far as the Xi River.

Answer 1

Correct answer is c: To the east, into what is now Japan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The founder of the Qin dynasty was the one that managed to unify whole China.

That is why the answers A, B and D are not correct as he unified this territories that are even today part of China. He even built a famous Chinese Wall.

What no Chinese ruler, including him never managed to do is to invade and conquer Japan. That is why option C is the correct one.
