Answer: China had decided not to modernize and industrialize
Explanation:
The Sino-Japanese War (the first one, carried out between 1894 and 1895), was a conflict between Japan and China for the supremacy over Korea (which for a long time was the most important client state for China). This war meant the rise of Japan as a great world power by showing the weakness of the Chinese empire (specifically the Qing dynasty).
The war was formally declared on August 1, 1894, with favorable predictions for China by foreign observers, because China had more people to fight. However, the Japanese surprised to be better equipped and prepared, after having successfully modernized.
That is why after more than six months of uninterrupted successes by Japanese land and naval forces and the loss of the Weihaiwei port by China, the Qing government sued for peace in February 1895.

Answer:
The radio adaptation's tone is more urgent than the novel's tone.
Explanation:
In the novel excerpt from H. G. Wells' <em>War of the Worlds</em>, the passage talks bout the arrival of the aliens as <em>"an ordinary falling star" </em>and the people hardly minding it's occurrence. Even though the narrator thinks <em>"hundreds must have seen it"</em>, it seemed to cause no panic among the people.
But the radio adaptation by Howard E. Koch of the same novel shows a news reporter interrupting a <em>"dance music"</em> to report about the <em>"explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars"</em>. This, along with the speech reporting voice will sound more dangerous than the mere narration in the novel version. <u>The tone in the radio adaptation presents a more urgent and serious tone while the novel's tone is more relaxed and even the people seem unfazed by it.</u>
