The Dust Bowl, which happened during the 1930´s originated in the South and its devastation and effects moved on to affect not just the Southern Plains but also the Great Plains. The absence of rainfall, the intense movement of strong winds and continuous dust were part of the factors that affected everything in life, from the economy of families to their welfare and even comfort, to their health. It was a time of great drought, which coupled with the Depression of the 1930s, increased the poverty levels, especially in rural areas. In response to the need for food and income to be generated, many farmers decided to replace the natural grasses that grew in the plains for winter wheat and this action, coupled with the lack of rainfall, led to a furthering of the drought problem and also to land erosion. In the end, it was very difficult, if not almost impossible, to grow any crops and the lands turned to dust. This is why the correct response is C: Replacing natural grasses to plant winter wheat led to topsoil erosion.

Remembering Tiananmen in Hong Kong has been viewed as an act of defiance for years, and it has become even more so now that the city’s own democratic future has come under threat. In the run-up to the 30th anniversary, demonstrators marched through the semi-autonomous enclave’s financial district chanting, “justice will prevail” and toting “support freedom” umbrellas. “In China, [people] can’t say anything against the government,” says Au Wai Sze, a nurse in Hong Kong who marched along with her 15-year-old daughter. “So while we in Hong Kong can still speak [out], we must represent the voice of the Chinese people and remind the world of this injustice.” Remembering Tiananmen in Hong Kong has been viewed as an act of defiance for years, and it has become even more so now that the city’s own democratic future has come under threat.

For all its power, China’s government is still deeply paranoid. Today, the regime is “stronger on the surface than at any time since the height of Mao’s power, but also more brittle,” Andrew Nathan, a professor of political science at Columbia University, wrote in Foreign Affairs. The people’s loyalty is predicated on wealth accumulation, which will be difficult to sustain. A sputtering economy, widespread environmental pollution, rampant corruption and soaring inequality have all fed public anxieties about Xi’s ability to continue fulfilling the prosperity-for-loyalty bargain.
