Answer 1

The first statement is best: While some reforms were made after the Boxer Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty was weakened enough to collapse within 20 years.

Reason: The Eight‑Nation Alliance crushed the Boxers and forced China to sign the punitive Boxer Protocol (1901). The Qing carried out some late reforms (New Policies), but the dynasty remained weakened and fell in the 1911 Revolution.
