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.

Identify the sentence with the correct verb. A. I​ can't believe he has swum to the island. B. I​ can't believe he has swaum to
Anna11 [10]
The correct answer is "I can't believe he has <em>swum </em>to the island." Swum is the past principle of "swim." However, if you drop the word <em>has </em>the answer would be D and the sentence would appear much more grammatically appealing. :)

HELP HELP HELP I need to do an essay about if animals shud be kept in zoos but I FORGOT. an y'all copy and paste yours??? PLS AN
lana66690 [7]

In my opinion, I think animals shouldnt be kept in zoos because zoos dont provide good natural habitats and can put unnecessary stress on the animals. For example, zoos dont have the right facilities for hibernation animals and big animals like elephants. Zoos can be too small and limited for the elephants. Because their habitat isnt big enough to migrate, this can change their behavior and can lead to aggression. Also, zoos to people are for entertainment so animals are captured and is put into poor habitats with poor conditions and separated from other animals of their own.
