Before there were balls called "wiffle balls," children would have played stick ball with a stick and whatever sort of soft ball they could come up with -- perhaps a tennis ball, perhaps a rolled up pair of socks.
The original "wiffle ball" was created by David N. Mullany, who had played baseball for the University of Connecticut. He wanted something his 12-year old son (David A. Mulaney) and friends could play with that would cooperate with trying to pitch a curve ball. He created balls using round plastic packaging materials from perfume bottles. His best-working design featured a solid side on half the ball and holes carved out on the other half of the ball. Mullany began the Wiffle Ball company, which was later taken over by his grandsons.

The correct answer is D) powerful emperors.
<em>Powerful emperors helped to unified and protect ancient China.</em>
China is a country that was forged by the many emperors that belonged to different dynasties. An emperor in China had a sacred place. He was a sacred figure because Chinese people considered him the son of god. Among the greatest Chinese emperors according to historians, we have Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong, and Ming Chengzu. These emperors had the titanic work of unifying in some cases, maintain the unity in others, or protection in many others of millions of Chinese people under the same empire.
Answer:
Reading history critically means reading with the awareness that the author has their own point of view, a bias one way or the other. There's a saying: "History books are written by the winners." For example, imagine a US army report on the effect of dropping the atom bomb on Hiroshima.
