read the passage below and answer the question that follows Zheng He died in 1435. That same year, the Ming emperor suddenly halted further construction of ships. Later, he banned ships with more than two masts. China turned its back on exploration. Why? No one is really sure. Some think that it was too costly to continue. Others think that it was because of the lack of interest of Confucian scholars. These scholars believed that Chinese civilization was the best in the world. Why, then, was there any need to contact other cultures? They wanted to keep their traditions the same. This thinking later led to a weakening in Chinese power. whats the effect of The Ming emperor suddenly halted further construction of ships.

Do you have any ideas so far?
no
Ok, So remember what effect means?
yep
whos him
Well looking at the passage, it states the effects directly. "They gave up on exploration" "Because they wanted to keep their traditions the same" <- those are directly from the text, so look at where it says they stopped working on ships then re-read the sentences after that.
thx
