- 3. The emergence of China as a superpower
- 4. An iron curtain dividing Europe into Western and Eastern blocs
A1, 3 and 4
B1 and 2
C1, 2, 3 and 4
D1, 2 and 4 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1, 2 and 4 — Items 1, 2 and 4 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
Explanation
★Items 1, 2 and 4 are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 4.
★Europe's dominance declined as the USA rose to superpower status.
★The old imperialist powers were weakened, hastening decolonisation.
★An iron curtain split Europe into Western and Eastern blocs.
★Item 3 is wrong, because China did not emerge as a superpower in 1945.
★China's great-power rise came much later, decades after the war.
★So only the claim of China as a 1945 superpower is incorrect.
