The correct answer is B, as the phenomenon by which light appears to reflect off a layer of water in the distance is called mirage.

A mirage is an optical illusion in which distant objects appear reflected on a smooth surface, so it could be seen a liquid surface that, in reality, does not exist.

It occurs when the Sun's rays encounter a warmer layer of air than the overlying layers where the colder air is of higher density. Thus the light rays undergo a total reflection and it is possible to see the images as if they were really reflected on the ground.

Light appearing to reflect off a layer of water in the distance would constitute a "mirage," since this is a "fake" image that is not actually taking place, but instead is an illusion.

Answer: Chinese cities included prosperous merchants and vibrant trade.

Explanation:

From the text it is seen that there was a lot of trade going on in the city. Everywhere one goes there are hundreds of shops. This means that trade must have been very vibrant.

Cities with vibrant trade make for trading hubs that will attract people from far and wide. This would therefore give merchants the opportunity to become very successful and prosperous from selling their wares.

Answer:

Unfortunately for these new settlers, Sir Thomas Gates, Virginia's deputy governor, bound for the colony, was shipwrecked in Bermuda and did not assume his new post until 1610. When he arrived, he found only a fraction of the colonists had survived the infamous "Starving Time" of 1609-1610. All too soon, the Mother Country learned of Virginia's woeful state. The result was predictable: financial catastrophe for the Company. Many new subscribers reneged payment on their shares, and the Company became entangled in dozens of court cases. On top of these losses, the Company was forced to incur further debt when it sent hundreds more colonists to Virginia.
