The Great Wall is made of bricks, rocks, and earth. It is one of the biggest construction projects ever finished. The wall meand

ers through the mountains of northern China. It was originally about 3,000 miles long. Its walls are 15 to 30 feet thick and up to 25 feet high. During the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), the Great Wall was lengthened to about 4,000 miles. It was also renovated over a period of 200 years. In that time, cannons were inserted along the wall. Watch towers were also added. The Great Wall is a national treasure to the Chinese and one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. It is estimated that as many as 10 million people visit it each year. Unfortunately, the wall has suffered greatly in recent years from damage and neglect. In 1987, the Great Wall was named a world cultural heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). 6 Which of the following sentences should be added to the first paragraph to support the idea that the Great Wall is one of the largest building projects ever built? A. The Great Wall is so immense that it can be seen by astronauts orbiting around the earth. B. In recent history, accounts indicate that 150 million tourists have visited the Great Wall of China. C. For centuries in China, soldiers placed signal fires along the Great Wall to warn of approaching invaders. D. The wall is 9 to 12 feet wide at the top, wide enough for troops of soldiers or wagons.

The answer in my opinion is A. It would really show how big the Great Wall of China is and prove it is one of the largest building projects.

Should religious belief influence law,five paragraph argument.
konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

Whatever we make of the substance of Judge Andrew Rutherford's ruling in the Cornish private hotel case, his citation of a striking and controversial opinion by Lord Justice Laws – delivered in another religious freedom case in 2010 – is worth pausing over. The owners of the Chymorvah hotel were found to have discriminated against a gay couple by refusing them a double-bedded room. They had appealed to their right to manifest their religious belief by running their hotel according to Christian moral standards. Given the drift of recent legal judgments in cases where equality rights are thought to clash with religious freedom rights, it is no surprise that the gay couple won their case.

But quite apart from the merits of the case, judges should be warned off any future reliance on the ill-considered opinions about law and religion ventured last year by Lord Justice Laws. Laws rightly asserted that no law can justify itself purely on the basis of the authority of any religion or belief system: "The precepts of any one religion – any belief system – cannot, by force of their religious origins, sound any louder in the general law than the precepts of any other."

A sound basis for this view is Locke's terse principle, in his Letter on Toleration, that "neither the right nor the art of ruling does necessarily carry with it the certain knowledge of other things; and least of all the true religion".

But Laws seemed to ground the principle instead on two problematic and potentially discriminatory claims. One is that the state can only justify a law on the grounds that it can be seen rationally and objectively to advance the general good (I paraphrase). The question is, seen by whom? What counts as rational, objective and publicly beneficial is not at all self-evident but deeply contested, determined in the cut and thrust of democratic debate and certainly not by the subjective views of individual judges. Religiously inspired political views – such as those driving the US civil rights movement of the 1960s or the Burmese Buddhists today – have as much right to enter that contest as any others. In this sense law can quite legitimately be influenced by religion.

Laws' other claim is that religious belief is, for all except the holder, "incommunicable by any kind of proof or evidence", and that the truth of it "lies only in the heart of the believer". But many non-Christians, for example, recognise that at least some of the claims of Christianity – historical ones, no doubt, or claims about universal moral values – are capable of successful communication to and critical assessment by others. Laws' assertion is also inconsistent with his own Anglican tradition, in which authority has never been seen as based on the subjective opinions of the individual but rather on the claims of "scripture, tradition and reason" acting in concert.
