Answer:
The correct answer is D. A group of Chinese peasants resisted the loss of their traditional ways of living.
Explanation:
The Boxer Rebellion was a Chinese movement against European, US and Japanese imperialism. In the spring and summer of 1900, the attacks of the Boxer movement against foreigners and Chinese Christians brought about a war between China and a coalition consisting of Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Russia and the USA, which ended with a defeat for the Chinese.
It was directed primarily at Chinese Christians and their missionaries, and eventually at Western political and commercial influence in China in general. Eventually, it became an overriding goal for the boxers and for the forces at the Qing court who supported and nurtured them to get all foreigners removed from China. From the point of view of the foreign powers, the goal was initially to come to the aid of besieged foreigners in Beijing, but eventually there was a punitive expedition and a positional race in the expectation that the Qing dynasty would have to hand over even more power to foreign powers.

Explanation:
D replaces the underlined clause.
A is not the answer because it is just a repetition of the underlined words.
B. This clause does not replace that underlined. A number of students suggest "some students" and does not refer to the body of students as a whole. Also to be grammatically correct, the clause has to end with "reached"
Neither Options C not E is the answer as omitting "the number" results in failing to quantify "students"
The 1950s was a time of widespread fear and anxiety - the two great powers, the USA and the USSR, were held together in M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Distruction), thanks to the US dropping the two nuclear bombs on Japan, fascinating Soviet scientists into developing their own Nuclear weapons program.
Joseph McCarthy, a US Senator from Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957, played a huge role in establishing a sense of uneasiness and paranoia among Americans in the 1950s, at the possibility of spies lurking within society. Individuals became more individualistic, and trusted authorities less and less - domestic crimes, for example, were often solves by individuals rather than these individuals requesting help from the police. Actors, those in the entertainment industry as a whole, and politicians were by far the most targeted by McCarthy's policies of kidnapping, torturing and extracting information, if there was a suspicion that those being kidnapped were in fact Soviet spies. The overwhelming majority were not, but there were still a handful that were. The government of the USA attempted to hide the innocent victims of these kidnappings, but were not very successful, and as such, individuals became extremely weary of authorities.
To sum up:
- Cold War begins, USA and USSR battle each other with espionage and intelligence rather than all-out warfare
- American government becomes increasing suspicious of spies within Entertainment industry and internal politics
- These paranoia-inducing policies were widely unsuccessful, and as such, fermented distrust for authorities within American society, and among societies of American allies, who were also suspicious of spying.
If you need further information, a quick search of McCarthyism or the 1950s social context of America should help.
