The correct answer is A: Both the United States and the Soviet Union possessed many destructive weapons. The purpose of the thesis statement is to state the main idea of the essay, i.e. it names the specific topic and gives the reader a general idea of the content of the essay. According to the student’s thesis above, the essay will be about the reasons why the United States and the Soviet Union were the two most powerful countries in the world by 1950; consequently, all the claims to support this thesis should be about these reasons. Though answers B and C refer to reasons why each of these countries were powerful, using one of these claims would be incorrect because they only make reference to one of these countries, making the essay unbalanced. Answer D is incorrect because it contrasts their ideologies, but it is not a reason why the USA and the USSR were the most powerful countries in the world. Answer A is correct because it presents a claim that supports the idea presented in the thesis as it makes reference to a reason why both countries were powerful in 1950; they both possessed destructive weapons, such as the A-bomb and H-bomb. In fact, during the 1950s, there was a nuclear arms race between these two superpowers, which competed for supremacy in nuclear warfare.

In what order does a dynasty gain and lose power in the Mandate of Heaven?
goblinko [34]

The Mandate of Heaven is a Chinese political and religious doctrine to justify the rule of the King or Emperor of China. According to this belief, <em>Heaven</em> bestows a mandate on the ruler of China. However, if he was overthrown, or if natural disasters occurred, this was considered an indication that the ruler had lost the mandate. Therefore, civilian rebellions were accepted as part of the cycle. The cycle had the following pattern:

  • A New Dynasty Rises
  • A New Dynasty Rules
  • Mandate of Heaven Lost by the Dynasty
  • The Dynasty Grows Weak
  • Period of Violence Follows

According to Chinese citizens, a new dynasty would rise and become powerful. This would lead them to rule as long as they received the mandate of heaven. However, if heaven was displeased with the ruler, the dynasty would lose its mandate. As a consequence, China would experience natural disasters, rebellions and the weakening of the dynasty. A period of violence and rebellion on the part of the citizens would follow, until a different dynasty arose from the chaos and became the ruling dynasty and the cycle continued.
