Answer:
- "early ripening rice"
- new irrigation techniques and systems
- planting new crops (cotton, tea)
Explanation:
Song Dynasty was a famous Chinese dinasty ruling from 10th till 13th century.
Among other things, this period is famous for massive agricultural improvements which increased crop production. Subsequently, that led to the increase in China's population.
Probably the most famous improvement was the development and use of "early ripening rice". This rice had a shorter life cycle which meant that it could grow 2 - 3 times per year, making more crops.
Also, new irrigation systems and techniques were invented which allowed the crops to be watered more efficiently and preventing drought.
We must not forget that China started farming other crops at that time including tea and cotton.
All of this improved farming making it one of the most notable legacy of the Song Dynasty.
Answer:
In the first stanza, the speaker has mixed feelings as to which road to take because they seem so similar. He tries to peer down one as far as he can and then considers the other. He finds them both to be about the same but he has to choose.
A. Melinda, already a track star, has become and accomplished cellist.
In her poem "This is my letter to the world," Emily Dickinson speaks to the world. She says that although she has addressed the world (maybe the Earth, or humanity), the world has never replied. However, she does not feel disheartened. She continues to communicate and only asks the world to be kind to her. The theme of the poem is one of loneliness, and at the same time, of belonging to home. It highlights Dickinson's sense of belonging to the world of her "sweet countrymen," but also how inconsequential this world finds her presence.
One of the poetic elements in the poem is the personification of Nature. Dickinson writes:
<em>"The simple news that Nature told, </em>
<em>With tender majesty."</em>
Nature cannot "tell" anything, but she is giving it human qualities in her poem. She says that nature told her news majestically. By saying that, she contrasts the world, never talking to her, and nature, communicating beautifully. Nature has treated her with kindness and generosity by addressing her, as opposed to the world, which has mostly ignored her. In this way, she establishes her relationship with nature as an ally and a driving force for her actions. Nature has also been her link to the world. By giving nature these human qualities, she establishes the role that nature has played in her belonging to the world, but also in her sense of isolation. In this way, it relates to the theme of belonging to a "home."
The answer in my opinion is A. It would really show how big the Great Wall of China is and prove it is one of the largest building projects.
Hope this helped ☺️
