What is one achievement of the Ming Dynasty?

Answer
T
The Ming Dynasty was the last of the Chinese dynasties, ruling through the 1800s until it was overthrown in a civil war.
T
The Forbidden City was destroyed for limiting access to the poor, and its golden bricks were redistributed throughout the city.
T
The Ming Dynasty imported all of its tea, silk, and porcelain from around the world; it seldom needed to produce any products of its own.
T
The Ming Dynasty produced Zheng He, a skilled navigator whose voyages predated famous Europeans.

Explanation

Zheng He was a Chinese admiral and navigator during the Ming Dynasty. His major maritime voyages took place in the early 1400s, before the better-known European voyages of exploration. The other choices are inaccurate: the Ming Dynasty ended in 1644, the Forbidden City was not destroyed as described, and Ming China produced its own tea, silk, and porcelain.
