She look like a queen and she was the queen of Persia.
pon receiving President Trump, I introduced myself and asked how he was doing and whether he had made a good trip. Then I invite you to hear about Munbai's story so that he can better understand, the importance of it and why it is a synonym for pride in the country. He gladly accepted when I started to speak:
"Munbai is an ancient city, dated to 250 BC when it was formed by an archipelago of seven islands ruled by the Silhara dynasty, one of the great names of Hinduism, until 1343. Due to its economic potential, it did not take long for it to attract the attention of European colonialism, which was invaded and controlled by the Portuguese between 1509 and 1668, when it was leased by the United Kingdom and annexed to the British East India Company, which consisted of major architectural works that allowed all the islands to be joined in a single territory.
Although the region had many projects aimed at engineering, it also had a strong agricultural capacity, being the center of cotton during the American civil war, which transformed the local economy and stabilized the market in a grandiose way. The economy improved even more after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, making Munbai the largest port in the Arabian Sea and making it possible for population growth and an admirable quality of life.
With the economy becoming more and more successful, munbai became one of the most influential urban centers in the region which gave strength to the beginning of policies that stabilized the independence movement, which allowed the region to grow without the command of Europeans. Independence was achieved in 1942, after much struggle and perseverance. Since then, the city has only grown, not only economically but also culturally, being the seat of Indian film production. "
"Hey, you excited?" Sarah asked with a smile.
I hesitated. "Not really. I mean, it sounds like one of those lousy school trips where it rains the entire week. I mean, seriously? England's cool and stuff but what is there actually worth seeing?"
"Aw, c'mon. You must be a little excited to see Buckingham palace!" Sarah didn't bother masking her disappointment.
"And the <em>british folk</em>," I put on a British accent which made her laugh.
"See? It won't be that bad. Let's get on the coach," she stepped on the coach, waiting for me to follow. I guess it couldn't be that bad, could it?
The answer is choice A
the hint suggested that it would've been a negative connotation :)
