Question: If the Tsar had succeeded in defeating Imperial Japan, would there have been a revolution in Russia?

Choices:
A. The Tsar’s success against Imperial Japan would have led to immediate political reforms, addressing corruption and social injustice, thereby preventing the revolution entirely.
B. The defeat of Imperial Japan would have exacerbated economic hardships in Russia, accelerating the revolution due to increased public discontent and resource depletion.
C. A victory over Imperial Japan would have significantly strengthened the Tsar’s authority, leading to widespread public support and effectively eliminating any possibility of revolution in Russia.
D. Assuming that the Czar succeeded in defeating Imperial Japan, it might have temporarily eased the domestic situation and delayed the outbreak of revolution. However, as fundamental problems such as political corruption, economic hardship, and social injustice still existed, as well as the continued spread of advanced ideas, the occurrence of revolution was still inevitable. Therefore, even if the Tsar won the Russo-Japanese War, it could not completely prevent the outbreak of the Russian Revolution.

Answer: D

Assuming that the Czar succeeded in defeating Imperial Japan, it might have temporarily eased the domestic situation and delayed the outbreak of revolution. However, as fundamental problems such as political corruption, economic hardship, and social injustice still existed, as well as the continued spread of advanced ideas, the occurrence of revolution was still inevitable. Therefore, even if the Tsar won the Russo-Japanese War, it could not completely prevent the outbreak of the Russian Revolution.

Russia began to reform slowly, and a lot of advanced ideas came in, and a lot of parties [00:32:57->00:43:05]

If Russia had defeated Imperial Japan and accepted Japanese reparations, it would have added to the empire's reserves and eased internal conflicts.

It delays the outbreak of revolution, but because the spread of ideas can't be stopped, revolution is bound to break out.

Eventually it became a powerful empire.
B. The Mongol invasion led to the immediate collapse of Russian society, with the population dispersing and the region falling into a dark age of technological and cultural regression.
C. Following the Mongol invasion, Russia quickly assimilated into the Mongol Empire, adopting its administrative systems and cultural practices, which led to a period of rapid economic growth and cultural exchange.
D. After the Mongol conquest, Russia fragmented into numerous independent principalities that were unable to unify, resulting in prolonged political instability and economic decline.

C. Napoleon intended to force Russia into an alliance against Austria, but his retreat resulted from poor strategic planning and the overwhelming size of the Russian army.
D. Napoleon aimed to establish a direct trade route with Asia through Russia, but his campaign failed due to logistical errors and the resilience of Russian guerrilla fighters.

Answer: B

Napoleon's reasons for going to war with Russia were primarily to limit Britain's trade and weaken its economy. The reasons for Napoleon's eventual retreat, on the other hand, included Russia's scorched earth strategy and unusually cold weather conditions.

The Russian people waged war to expand their territory to the Black Sea and began trading with Britain [00:22:41->00:32:57]

Napoleon invades Russia in order to limit the British deal [00:33:25->00:33:48]

Russia launches a scorched-earth strategy, while the cold arrives, allowing Russia to win [00:33:48->00:35:04]

Answer: B

Mom was ticketed by the traffic police for not distinguishing between left and right when she was driving and used the lights incorrectly, and when Dad found out, he told Mom to learn to distinguish between left and right for safety reasons.

Mom gets pulled over by a traffic cop while driving for using her lights incorrectly [00:13:59->00:15:17]

Since Dad is a superior traffic cop, Mom hopes to be accommodating, making it slightly more difficult for the traffic cops on the scene [00:16:08->00:17:01]

Eventually the ticket is given to the dad, who thinks traffic safety is important, just as the kids are learning the difference between right and left, so he lets the mom follow the kids around [00:19:41->00:21:21]

The young woman was practicing her stage play on stage in a corset, fainted from hunger, and asked her teacher to start practicing in a daze. It can be deduced that in order to practice the stage play and keep her body in good shape, the young woman strictly controls her diet, wears a corset that suits the needs of her role, and even practices when she is starving, which shows that she is very serious and fully committed in her approach to things [00:09:53->00:11:11].

Seeing her sister dressed in clothes inappropriate for her age, the young woman expresses her desire to show a different personality, and even though she doesn't think it's quite right, she wants to be brave enough to try it [00:21:26->00:22:15].

The boy was finally allowed to expose himself as having lied, so the boy will probably still have to go to school

Woman driving down the road, stopped by, traffic police for incorrect use of vehicle lights [00:13:59->00:15:18]

When viewers also have questions about the use of vehicle lights, the appearance of the safety science animation can not only attract children's attention, but also allow children to deeply memorize the knowledge related to this science in conjunction with the storyline [00:15:20->00:15:48].

Mom will not pay attention to the issue of correctly distinguishing left from right, greatly increasing the risk of traffic accidents

Mom is driving down the road and is stopped by a traffic cop for using her lights incorrectly [00:13:59->00:14:19]

If mom hadn't met the female traffic cop, with dad's connections as a superior traffic cop, the male traffic cop probably wouldn't have given mom a ticket

Incorrect use of lights while driving is a safety hazard and greatly increases the risk of traffic accidents

They will begin to make a conscious effort for all family members to learn and understand the rules of the road, to correctly differentiate between right and left, to learn from this lesson and to avoid this situation from happening again

Increased traffic safety awareness throughout the family

Question: Why the young woman fainted while rehearsing a stage play

Choices:
A. Because she had been standing for hours without proper rest.
B. Because she was dehydrated and hadn't consumed enough fluids.
C. Because she was overwhelmed by stage fright and anxiety.
D. Because she's so hungry, she's starving.

Answer: D

Because she's so hungry, she's starving.

Mom let the little kids take the wrong young woman's cake for breakfast because she didn't know her right from her left, and she refused to eat foods heavy in oil and salt, so she only ate vegetables for breakfast [00:00:56->00:02:09].

With her mother's help the young woman puts on the corset she has to wear when practicing for a stage play, and refuses her mother's offer to prepare her favorite pie, and maintaining her posture consumes a lot of her energy [00:07:41->00:08:48]

She refuses food bought for her by the young man, and rehearsals for the stage play take place during lunchtime [00:08:54->00:09:40]

For rehearsal she took in very little food today, so she fainted during rehearsal just because she was so hungry and starved [00:10:41->00:11:15]
