Hi!
Your answer is B.
It is <u><em>not</em></u> A because this doesn't really make sense. It's not the best answer.
It <u><em>is</em></u> B because, in sentences, the words around it will likely give the information you need to infer what the word means.
(For example, if I were to say "<em>She was </em><u><em>continuously</em></u><em> singing, for yesterday she sang for 4 straight hours, and it was extremely annoying</em>", pretend you do not know what "continuously" means. By using the words around it, such as "4 straight hours" you can predict that it means "never stopping".)
It is <u><em>not</em></u> C because not every single sentence contains a synonym or antonym.
(See the sentence above. The antonym of "continuously" would be 'never' or 'sometimes' or possibly 'discontinous'. There isn't always an antonym or synonym there, is there?)
It is <u><em>not</em></u> D because not every single word is defined in a passage.
(When you open an average book, is there just an entire page(s) dedicated to every single definition of a word? Most often, no, there is not.)

Answer:
China took this action at the demand of Confucian scholars who tired of barbarian contact
Explanation:
What demonstrates that china stopped trading with other areas of the world and became isolated due to fear of cultural change is that "China took this action at the demand of Confucian scholars who tired of barbarian contact".
During this period, the Chinese Scholars felt that the people of their outside regions were uncultured and barbaric hence they must stay away from them so they won't affect their unique way of life.
