Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

Options B through D simply do not make any sense. They overuse words, and are far too long. Sentence 2 starts off with "That ancient land was located in the Middle East." So it would make sense to start the revised sentence that way. Add "The Middle East" to sentence 1, and there you go.

Answer:

A. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world.

Explanation:

It is grammatically correct and gets rid of the wordiness of two sentences.

Why the other choices are not as good:

B. That ancient land was located in the Middle East, and the Middle East is a hot and sunny part of the world.

This is basically the same as the original: there is nothing grammatically incorrect, but it is just too wordy.

C. A hot and sunny part of the world is the ancient land the Middle East.

This sentence changes it such that the focus is no longer on the ancient land or Middle East and rather on the "hot and sunny part".

D. Located in the Middle East, a hot and sunny part of the world, that ancient land.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect, because it has only a dependent clause.

In the excerpt from Walden, what are Thoreau’s beliefs about industrialization? How do they fit with the broader themes of trans
kirza4 [7]

   In Walden, Thoureau presents a lesson of wisdom about the best way to life as an individual and as a social being.

   What would look like excentricity to most people, means to him a reflection about the capitalism and the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization and industrialization.

   The trancendentalism defended the vality of the intuition, and individualism. So it fits with the thoughts of Thoureau about the industrialization and reflections about life, as it is possible to confirm in Walden when a question is frequently asked about what is really important to the basic needs for the modern man to have a good life. He defends that it is possible to have a good life with the minimum of material resources to provide whatever the spirit needs, such as reading, reflections about life and nature watching. On the other hand, he afirms that it is possible to have a good life without an  excess of clothes, food or fancy houses.
