Answer:
The correct answer might be A.
The Senate hoped to learn from the Watergate tapes "what the president knew and when he knew it," in the now famous words of Howard Baker, one of the principal members of the Senate Watergate Committee, which was created especially to find out it there was a connection between Richard Nixon's presidential campaign and the break-in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel that had been perpetrated only five months before election day (in June of 1972), and that, as it was discovered, had been financed illegally by campaign contributions.
The White House prevented the investigation from taking place, but one of Nixon's aides, John Dean, revealed that the president had been involved in covering-up the incident. In addition, it was revealed that President Nixon had recorded all the conversations that had taken place at the Oval Office, so the Senate was hoping to find out what he and his aides had said about Watergate, but the President refused to give up the tapes. He was eventually forced by the Supreme Court to provide them, and they confirmed that he had been indeed involved in the break-in and in other illegal activities.
Because of the special geographic situation of the city, the monsoon winds took the wooden ships of Quanzhou to many parts of world at that time. And as the political center of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) moved to the south due to the civil war in 1127, Quanzhou started to play a significant role in the country's marine trade with the outside world.
At that time, merchant ships setting off from Quanzhou Port could travel to over 50 countries and regions in the world. Later the number increased to 98 in the Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368).
Because commodities from all parts of the world gathered in the small city, Quanzhou was once called the world cargo hold or the distributing center of commodities from all over the world, and was mentioned by many foreign travelers in their travelogues.
Ding Yuling is the director of Quanzhou Maritime Museum.
"Marco Polo once said if there was one ship loaded with pepper traveling to Port Alexander in Egypt, there would be one hundred pepper ships coming to the Quanzhou Port. From this we know what a great amount of trade was done at that time."
Due to its reputation, Quanzhou was also called the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, and Quanzhou Port was once known as the biggest port in the east.
"There were a lot of port facilities built in the city, including storehouses, customs houses, and wharves, which have left many relics now," said Chu Baoyang, deputy chief of Quanzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Press and Publications.
As descendents of unions between foreign businessmen and local women, Ding's family has witnessed the development of Quanzhou, and Ding herself is quite proud of Quanzhou's status and history in the world marine trade.
"I think Quanzhou has contributed a lot to human society. It started an era in Quanzhou, the international era of Quanzhou Port. It showed an internationalized spirit, a diversified and inclusive spirit of the city at that time. I think we should continue to develop this spirit in modern times." Ding said.
