Answer :
In "China's Cultural Revolution," the claim that is not supported by evidence is:
D. "For centuries, Chinese peasants (poor people) had suffered terribly, but now they had a voice and some power."
This claim is not supported by evidence because during the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese peasants did not gain significant power or a voice. In fact, the Cultural Revolution led to widespread chaos, persecution of intellectuals, and the suppression of dissenting voices, including those of the peasants. The focus was on promoting Mao Zedong's ideology and consolidating power rather than empowering the peasants. The period was marked by violence, political purges, and the imposition of strict control by the Communist Party, which limited any real empowerment of the peasants.
In contrast, claims A, B, and C are more aligned with the historical context of the Cultural Revolution and are supported by evidence from that time.
