Correct answers:
- It had foreign spheres of influence.
- It failed to institute reforms.
- It avoided modernization.

Brief explanation: In the 19th–early 20th century Qing China was carved into foreign spheres of influence, resisted or incompletely implemented reform/modernization efforts (unlike Meiji Japan), and did not rapidly industrialize. It lost the Sino–Japanese War, so it did not win that war.
