The answer to the question is D.
Rail connections to the Great Plains proved especially devastating. After acquiring horses, Indians there had become heavily dependent on the plains bison for food, shelter, clothing, trade, and much more. In 1872 it was found that bison hides could be processed into commercial leather, and white hide-hunters immediately set out to meet that demand. Within a decade they had driven the millions of animals to the verge of extinction. The slaughter would have been unlikely, probably impossible, had railroads not provided the means to ship the hides and bones off to eastern factories. In one year near the end of the carnage, 1881–1882, the Northern Pacific shipped 2,250 tons of hides from the northern plains. Once the herds were gone, plains Indians had no true option but to turn to reservations and dependence on federal support. In effect the life blood of a people had bled away through the rail lines.
The learner needs to be ACTIVE.
The Information-Processing Theory analyzes the different processes that take place in the human mind and which lead to learning. These processes are mainly related with the storage, encoding and retrieval of information. It describes the different memory units, as each of them contributes to the completion of some of those processes: first information is received through the senses, the working memory manipulates it (processing,encoding) to be finally stored in the long-term memory unit.
The individual actively contributes to the sucessful completion of those processes. For example, it is possible to acquire tecniques to encode and to purpousefully use them to improve the learning performance.
The right answer is:
B. It reveals that the rudeness of the clerk would prevent the narrator from buying the cloth she wanted and the narrator had little power in China.
Explanation:
The reason why the trip to the store was filled with beautiful sights, but the experience inside the store was less than beautiful was because you can't expect people to be nice to you in China unless you have carefully cultivated friendship first.
