The following statements about Benin are correct:

1. The most respected craftsmen in Benin City were the brassmakers.
2. Benin City was the well-organized capital of Benin.
3. The Edo were fierce warriors and clever traders.
4. Benin dominated the rain forest and the coastal regions of what today is the country of Nigeria.

The other statements about the people who inhabited Benin being known as the "Sunni" and Islam being a powerful force in the culture of Benin are incorrect. The people of Benin were primarily the Edo, and while Islam did influence some regions of Nigeria, it was not a defining cultural force in the historical context of the Benin Kingdom.
