Answer:

The central idea of the passage above is about the beauty of the new world. Thus Option D is the right answer.

Explanation:

This excerpt was spoken by William Bradford who was a puritan. Two types of Christian English settlers came to America, they were Puritans and Pilgrims. Puritans were radical and they had political background.

They were conventional Christians who believed that ecclesiastical reformations are required in North America and their main aim was to settle in new world and spread Christianity. Pilgrims were simple and poor Christians and they were merely traders. These two different sections of people came in a ship called mayflower and anchored in Plymouth.

Due to storms, the food supply depleted and puritans claimed that they had all liberty to own the ship as it belonged to Britain, Pilgrims rejected this claim. They did not want lose their lives in a battle against each other and both were driven by the desire to explore the new world; hence they signed a peace contract which stood as the base for the US constitution.

Which ancient civilization was ruled by many dynasties, including the Song and Ming, and eventually developed the idea of the dy

castortr0y [4]

Dynastic cycle (traditional Chinese: 朝代循環; simplified Chinese: 朝代循环; pinyin: Cháodài Xúnhuán) is an important political theory in the Chinese history. According to this theory, each dynasty in Chinese history, rises to a political, cultural, and economic peak and then, because of moral corruption, declines, loses the Mandate of Heaven, and falls, only to be replaced by a new dynasty. The cycle then repeats under a surface pattern of repetitive motifs.[1]

It sees a continuity in Chinese history from early times to the present by looking at the succession of empires or dynasties, implying that there is little basic development or change in social or economic structures.[2] John K. Fairbank expressed the doubts of many historians when he wrote that "the concept of the dynastic cycle... has been a major block to the understanding of the fundamental dynamics of Chinese history."[3]
