C. To show that duck and cover would protect a person during a bomb attack.

That answer doesn't make much sense to us now, but at the time of the 1951 Duck and Cover film released by the US Civil Defense office, that was the message the government was conveying to the American people.

If you look at the other options in the answer choices, all of them (A,B,D) are essentially saying the same thing -- that this was a method that would not work. So the only unique answer in the set -- which was the message from Civil Defense -- was that "duck and cover" was a helpful strategy in the event of a nuclear attack. Truthfully, it would not have been.

During their early histories, ______ sometimes influenced Chinese government, while ______ sometimes influenced Indian governmen

Grace [21]

Confucianism, Buddhism
would be my best guess... but out of the answers you listed they probably want Daoism and Confucianism.

Since Shinto is Japanese and Hinduism is Indian... those two are completely out of the question.
_____
Daoism isn't really a government influence... it embraces the philosophy of yin and yang. Good and Bad, without one the other cannot exist. Natural influences of a good and bad government doesn't really make a good governing philosophy. Confucianism was really based on good and virtuous, people live life in harmony and proprietary. He's missing the rules and laws of the Legalist system of government. Where it assumes all people are bad and without laws and rules everything would be in chaos. The First Emperor established the Legalist system in China, he was said to have buried alive hundreds of Confucian scholars and burned Confucian books... His reign was short lived, only 14 years. The next dynasty... the Han, governed with a combination of Legalist and Confucian type of government, lasted 426 years. This pretty much continued till the Tang dynasty when Buddhism a larger influence in society.
