C) They were all located along the Indus river because of irrigation, trade, and transportation.
Since you failed to actually mention which Indian cities or towns, I'll assume the rather generic answer world wide as to reasons that settlements tend to happen along rivers such as the Indus river. The usual reason is because of the river being a reliable source of water and provides relatively easy transportation of goods to and from the community. So with that in mind, let's take a look at the options and see what does and does not make sense.
A) They were all located along the Indus for better trade with the Chinese.
* This would be a good reason in and of itself. But it's not the only reason. So
this isn't a good choice.
B) They were all located along the Indus river for military defense purposes.
* Military defense generally isn't the reason one would build cities near rivers. Rivers are effectively "nature's highways" and as such locations near a river are generally easily accessible. With that in mind, it's fairly common to build fortifications near the mouths of rivers in order to deny access to potential enemies, but this still isn't the best reason to build a city or two near a major river.
C) They were all located along the Indus river because of irrigation, trade, and transportation.
* This pretty much covers all the points. Irrigation because of the easy access to water. Trade because lots of cities tend to built near or on rivers and cheap, easy transportation.
D) They were all located along the Indus to limit contact with and to stay away from other nations.
* Let's reason this out. You wish to limit contact with other nations and groups of people. So you locate your cities in the locations that are most accessible. This doesn't even pass the giggle test. And it's definitely a wrong answer.
Answer:
The daimyo and samurai started a revolt to bring the Meiji emperor to power. The "restoration" of the Meiji emperor as head of state in 1868 marked the beginning of profound changes in Japanese politics, culture, and society.
Explanation:
Ernest Rutherford contributed to the atomic theory by discovering that the atom is mostly empty space.
He can to that conclusion because he fired alpha particles at gold foil, which was so thin that it was only around .00004 cm thick, and while almost all shot straight through, some actually bounced back!
He likened it to shooting a 15-inch round(bullet) at tissue paper, only to have it bounce right back at you! Based on this, he theorized that the atom is mostly empty, which is why a majority of the particles passed right through, but in the very center of the atom there is a super-dense structure called a nucleus that held a majority of the atom's mass. This super-dense mass would be more than massive enough to deflect the particle, should they collide.
A huge part of it had to deal with the way that the French government dealt with debt.
<span>Only their third estate, primarily poor merchants and peasants, paid any taxes. The French largely funded the American Revolution because of their long-standing animosity with Great Britain. However, the debt they incurred was only slowly paid off because the people they were taxing had very little money. The country fell into an economic crisis and resentment began to build against the first and second estates--the weathly, title-holder, landed gentry and clergy. Thus the revolution. </span>
<span>A good comparison is Great Britain post-America Revolution, who taxed their citizens more fairly and avoided revolution by not throwing most of their citizens into the desperate straits of poverty.</span>
