The 1950s and 1960s were a brutal, oppressive period in Chinese history. Mao Zedong's "Great Leap Forward"—a plan to rapidly transform China from an agricultural economy to one focused on heavy industry—led to widespread death and starvation.

Intellectuals were taken from their homes and sent to labor camps to be "re-educated."   Chang fled to the United States. His poem Childhood""Garden of my childhood" <em>describes </em><em>China</em><em> before the revolution </em><em>as a peaceful, idyllic garden </em><em>with a violent horde rapidly approaching.</em> A<em> </em><em>vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified </em><em>and beckons </em>him to run.

9. Read the following sentences from “The Destructors”: The new recruit had been with the gang since the beginning of the summer
dangina [55]

According to the sentences shared from The Destructors, the word that best describes Trevor is <u>peculiar</u>.

From those sentences we can't tell that Trevor's silence is because he is cautious or introspective. Nothing in those lines tells us any other thing for us to understand that he is one of those two things.

On the other hand, we can know from the sentence "When he said 'Trevor' it was a statement of a fact, not as it would have been with the others a statement of shame or defiance" that he didn't mean to be threatening, so the choice left is C.

Peculiar, as an adjective, means that someone clearly distinguishes from the rest for some personal characteristic. Trevor's attitude is clearly different from the rest of the gang and it is something that distinguishes him.
