Answer:

I would say the correct answer is B. To give the English king a graceful way out of what could be an  awkward situation.

Explanation:

The emperor's letter is a perfect example of a well-balanced political message. <u>He clearly states his political position while still paying due respect to his counterpart.</u> Translated to modern, everyday English, this passage would mean: "Your request is unreasonable and goes against all principles and rules of my great empire; still, I will be gracious enough to assume that you meant no offence." This way, <u>the emperor turns down a request without making an enemy</u>.

True, the emperor refuses King George's request to intensify trade connections between the two countries. But he doesn't go so far as to warn the English king of anything. His tone remains polite throughout the letter. Therefore, A) isn't correct.

On the other hand, C) isn't correct because Qian Long presents his current political stance and the politics of his empire as definite and immutable. Therefore, there is no room for change - not now, not ever.

Finally, D) isn't correct because the emperor knows very well that an ambassador always speaks on behalf of his sovereign. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that a political envoy would take liberty to speak on his own terms.

What piece of evidence explains the cause of the publishing industry being mostly white?
aivan3 [116]

Answer/Explanation:

I am unsure of the evidence, since it wasnt included. On the other hand, it is due to the fact that white speakers are more valued and trusted by the population in average.

I hope this helped!

If you read and understand something written several centuries ago, is this a form of communication?
wlad13 [49]

No. This is because communication is 2+ people corresponding to each other. Reading is just interpreting and consuming facts, rather than having a conversation.

Select the sentence that is punctuated correctly.
rosijanka [135]
B. 
<span>Unemployment is high in many fields, but there are jobs available in telecommunications.


A comma is used when it is placed after the end of one independent clause and the beginning of another which follows one such clause. The two independent clauses must be joined with words known as co-ordinating conjunctions. Examples of such words are, but, and,or so etc. 
In this sentence but is used, </span>preceded by a comma so it is the right one.
