Question 1ExpertLevel 3
Why was the peasant popularity of the Socialist Revolutionary Party a strategic challenge for the Bolsheviks?
Correct answer: A
The SR Party had influence among peasants because of the land question. Exam tip: connect peasant support with party strategy.
What tendency of Tsarism is shown by repeatedly dissolving the Duma after 1905?
Correct answer: A
The Duma was created after the 1905 Revolution as a representative legislative body, but the Tsar did not accept genuine parliamentary control. He retained the power to dissolve it and repeatedly used that power when its members challenged his wishes. This shows that Tsarism offered limited reforms while trying to preserve autocratic authority. Therefore, option A correctly describes the tendency revealed by dissolving the Duma.
The repeated dissolutions do not indicate full democracy, acceptance of Soviet rule, or a decision to let peasants control the government. They show the limits of the concession. The Duma existed, but its authority remained restricted by the Tsar, the state administration, and the unequal political system.
Tsar Nicholas II's abdication was the result of which wider process?
Correct answer: A
The direct answer is A. Tsar Nicholas II abdicated during the February Revolution of 1917, when mass protests, food shortages, war exhaustion and political crisis combined. Many workers and citizens demonstrated, and soldiers in Petrograd refused to continue supporting the old regime or joined the uprising. This destroyed the government’s authority and forced the Tsar to abdicate. Option A is correct because it describes the combined social, military and political causes. Option B is wrong because abdication was not a peaceful family choice. Option C is wrong because it was not caused by a trade reform of the Duma. Option D is wrong because the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed later, in 1918, by the Bolshevik government. Exam cue: connect abdication with the February Revolution, not with Brest-Litovsk.
