Question

true or false:
4. Peter the Great recognized the importance of noble support so he gave the boyars a monopoly on government positions.

Answer 1

False. Peter the Great implemented reforms that reduced the power of the boyars (nobility) by allowing merit-based appointments and creating a new class of officials. While he recognized the importance of noble support, he did not grant them a monopoly on government positions; instead, he sought to weaken their exclusive control over governance.
