Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Xia dynasty is considered by some historians to be the first dynasty in China, and it is believed to have begun the development of civilization in the region. While there is debate over the historical accuracy of the Xia dynasty, archaeological evidence suggests that a sophisticated society existed in the region during this time period. The other choices are incorrect because the Qin dynasty came much later, Kunming is a specific city and not a general term for bureaucratic arrangements, and there is no evidence to suggest that the Shang dynasty exploited nomads.
