<em>The correct answer is D</em>. Chandragupta Maurya was an able and skilled leader.

Chandragupta Maurya(340-298BCE) was the founder of the Mauryan Empire. He was the son of a Nanda prince and a noble member of the Kshatriya caste (the warrior-ruler caste). He wanted to eliminate in India the fragments of Macedonian influence.  

Kautilya Chanakya was the main advisor of Chandragupta when they formed an army, not so big and trained, but the brilliant strategies of Chanakya helped Chandragupta invaded Pataliputra and established the Mauryan Dynasty in 322. Chandragupta defeated the invaders from Greek and was considered a great leader with the support of its people.

Chandragupta dominance extended from Northern India until the Indus River and the Bay of Bengal in the East.

Answer:

D) Chandragupta Maurya was an able and skilled leader.

Explanation:

The Maurya Empire was the first unified great empire of India. Ruled by the Maurya dynasty, it lasted from 320 a. C. to 185 a. C. (probable dates), dominating all the north and center of India and some regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The empire was expanded to the north, along the natural borders of the Himalayas, and east to the present state of Assam. To the west, it reached beyond Pakistan and included Baluchistan in Persia and significant parts of now Afghanistan, including Herat and the Kandahar provinces. The Empire was extended in the central regions and towards the south of India by the emperor Bindusara, but this excluded a small part of the unexplored regions near Kalinga.

India also enjoyed an era of social harmony, religious transformation, and the extension of science and knowledge. Chandragupta Maurya's embrace of the yaina religion increased social and religious renewal and reform through his society, while the conversion of Ashoka to Buddhism was the foundation of the reign of social and political peace and nonviolence through India.

How did Sulla help turn the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

He replaced the elected consuls and the Senate with an empire that could be inherited by members of the ruler's family.

Explanation:

Sulla, not being the Emperor in the modern sense of the word, he, however, possessed sole and unlimited power in the republic. His dictatorship dates back to 83-80 years BC, but the period of his sole rule began, in fact, in the 88th, when Sulla was elected consul. He held this post for eight years against all laws, including the Constitution. Formally, democratic institutions existed under him. There was even a second consul. But this consul was 'technical,' fulfilling the will of Sulla. There was a Senate, which was controlled in the same way by a dictator. The death of Sulla did not lead to major changes. The transition to one-man rule was a matter of time.
