The Sino-Vietnamese War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh biên giới Việt-Trung; simplified Chinese: 中越战争; traditional Chinese:中越戰爭; pinyin: Zhōng-Yuè Zhànzhēng), also known as the Third Indochina War, was a brief border war fought between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in early 1979. China launched the offensive in response to Vietnam's invasion and occupation of Cambodia in 1978 (which ended the rule of the Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge).[17]Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote that Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping saw this as a Soviet attempt "to extend its evil tentacles to Southeast Asia and...carry out expansion there", which reflected the long-standing Sino-Soviet split.[18] Kissinger also noted that "[w]hatever the shortcomings of its execution, the Chinese campaign reflected a serious, long-term strategic analysis".[19]
The Chinese entered northern Vietnam and captured some of the cities near the border. On March 6, 1979, China declared that the gate to Hanoi was open and that their punitive mission had been achieved. Chinese forces retreated back across the Vietnamese border into China. Both China and Vietnam claimed victory in the last of the Indochina Wars of the 20th century; as Vietnamese troops remained in Cambodia until 1989, it can be said that China failed to achieve the goal of dissuading Vietnam from involvement in Cambodia. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Sino-Vietnamese border was finalized.
China demonstrated to its Cold War Communist adversary, the Soviet Union, that they were unable to protect their new Vietnamese ally.[20] Following worsening relations between the Soviet Union and China as a result of the Sino-Soviet split, as many as 1.5 million Chinese troops were stationed along the Soviet-Chinese border, in preparation for a full-scale war.
Answer:
A. To demonstrate Equiano's lack of knowledge about European customs due to living in an isolated part of the continent.
Explanation:
Olaudah Equiano in the autobiography written by him demonstrated all the travails he went through while being transported across the Atlantic Ocean by the White men. In paragraph five, Equiano asked a series of questions to his fellow countrymen on board with him on the ship. He asked about the country of the white men, and if they had their own women. He also asked about how the vessel could go and was amazed when the workings of the vessel were explained to him.
All these show that Equiano had no knowledge of the European way of life because he had lived in Africa all his life.

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered efficiently. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The best structural choice to create tension in the text is one that promotes suspense. This is because suspense allows the reader not to know what will happen, and may come across something completely unpredictable that can be good or bad. A type of textual structure that can promote suspense and, consequently, tension is the descriptive structure, one the author describes elements that increase suspense and makes the reader anxious.
