In ancient China, civilization developed much like it did in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley. But while these other civilizations grew side by side, knew of each other, and traded extensively, Chinese civilization developed independently, with very little influence from the cultures to the west. An urban civilization did not emerge in China until about 2000 BC, about a thousand years later than in Mesopotamia, but it emerged as a large and highly developed kingdom. The first three dynasties to rule China were the Xia (or Hsia) dynasty, the Shang dynasty, and the Zhou (or Chou) dynasty. While the Xia may have been purely mythological, the Shang and Zhou were certainly real dynasties whose kings exerted enormous influence. They did not yet rule the huge area that makes up modern China, but they controlled a massive swath of territory around the Yellow River. While the first Chinese emperors did not rule until China was unified under the later Qin (Ch'in) dynasty, in this early period China was ruled by kings. For the most part, there was only one king at a time, who effectively ruled of all of China. Under the Zhou dynasty, however, the power of the kings weakened, and many powerful men called themselves “kings” at the same time, as they vied for control of the country. It was only at this point that there emerged the concept of a Chinese emperor, or Huangdi (a term that had previously been used for the mythological leaders who were said to have ruled China at the beginning of time), who would rule over all these various kings. It was during the ancient period of China, before the emergence of the first emperors, that Chinese civilization developed its own unique culture. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, respectively, China experienced the Bronze and Iron Ages. While many of the developments that took place in China in these periods mirror what was happening in other parts of the world, other developments were very different, and differentiate Chinese civilization from all others.

If you were to give a briefing on Islam and religion in Pakistan to a missionary that has been called to serve in Pakistan, what
Digiron [165]

Answer:

I would say that the most critical principle for him/her (the missionary) to understand is the principle or pillars of Islam. By understanding the pillars of Islam, and noting the differences between Islam and the missionary’s religion, it would help the missionary to be able to advertise or proselytize their religion by stating any better alternatives or higher values the missionary’s religion has to offer; this will make it easier to conscientize and convince the Pakistani Muslims to become converts.

It is important to inform the Pakistani Muslims about any higher values that the missionary’s religion has to offer because that can go a long way in having a positive impact on the Muslims conviction, and converting them, or leading them to become converts.

11111nata11111 [884]

The correct answer is B. The infection most likely causes bats to wake up during hibernation.

Explanation

According to the fragment of the question, the author said that bats need fat to feed during the hibernation from winter to spring, also they "wake up briefly once or twice a month". On the other hand, the author said "Infected bats seem to run out of fat in the middle of winter", also they "wake up from hibernation every four to five days", and "expend valuable calories flying around" According to the above, the conclusion that can be drawn about the infection is the infection probably causes bats to wake up during hibernation, because only infected bats have an abnormal hibernation cycle, also, this might be associated to the low  rate of fats that are found in infected bats.
