Answer:

Lin described the British merchants as "people who are carefully of their own lives but rather are careless of other people's live and indifferent in the gain they want to make not considering the harm others "

Explanation:

Lin Zexu was the commissioner in charge of the trading port in of the east India company in Canton. He was appointed by the Emperor based on the death of his son as result of overdose intake of the opium that was imported into China.

However, Lin made all efforts to stop all these importation by taking all strict measures to end the trade. He put more efforts by writing letter to the Queen informing her of the atrocities committed by the British merchants involved in the opium trade.

The British were uncooperative which lead to Lin seizing their goods there by resulting in the opium war of 1839-1842. It lead to Lin being removed and the trade was renegotiated between Britain and China because they won the war.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide any reference or context at all, I can say that the most interesting time or place you heard about this year was the Mayan territory in the Yucatán Peninsula in México, where the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador supported the construction of a railroad that is going to have stops in every important Mayan archeological site in southern Mexico, such as Palenque, in the state of Chiapas, Tulum, next to Cancún, in the state of Quintana Roo, or Chichen Itza, in the state of Yucatán. This would be one of his most important projects as a President because it will create a great touristic attraction for the people to visit and learn about this great Mayan culture.

What issue does Nicodemus address with the Jewish authorities in Capernaum, the town he visits? What problem related to major lo

Artemon [7]

Nicodemus helped to address the issues of Tax with the Jewish authorities in Capernaum which was the town he visited.

<h3>Who is Nicodemus?</h3>

In the bible, the man was an early follower of Jesus Christ and was uniquely mentioned only in the fourth gospel of the Gospel of John.

The Gospel of John described Nicodemus as a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin (the Jewish Council) in Jerusalem at the time of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazaret.

While Nicodemus and his wife were traveling in a horse-drawn carriage, they were interrupted by a Roman (Quintus) who goes up to the carriage and introduces himself as the Praetor of Capernaum.

The Praetor of Capernaum asks Nicodemus for his help with making the Jews pay taxes. In exchange, Quintus says, he will support the Pharisees against their competitors.
