Answer 2

The correct statement is:
"The Mongols conquered a vast area over a short period of time by using a great deal of violence and cruelty."

Brief explanation: Under leaders like Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols rapidly expanded across Eurasia in the 13th century, creating the largest contiguous land empire in history. Their campaigns were swift and often extremely violent, using terror as a military tactic, though they also established trade routes and sometimes practiced tolerance of local religions once regions were subdued.
