<u>Explanation</u>:
Before Kublai Khan took over China, it had an open social hierarchy system wherein the citizens could take up civil examinations in order to move forward. Kublai Khan turned this open system into a closed one and demoted the elite literary group.
He made sure that the elite were only those who had inherited it by birth.

The- literati were made to write to entertain their elite masters.
