Answer:
D , C , AND B.
Explanation:
China is a huge country, and has a great variety of climates. Winter is freezing cold in the north, in the mountains and the plateaus, while it's mild in the south; summer is hot everywhere, except in highlands and high mountains. If we exclude the vast western desert areas, where rainfall is scarce and irregular, summer is the rainiest season. The rainiest part of the country is the south-east, while the least rainy is the north-west.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The United States of America is considered to be a representative democracy because American citizens elect officials serve as their representation in government. For example, a U.S. Senator. There are 100 Senators, 2 Senators representing each of the 50 States. Those Senators are elected by the inhabitants of their state for one reason; and that's because they will represent those inhabitants in government. This is why campaigning and appealing is so crucial to winning elected office; you want people to entrust you with the task of representing them. 
A simpler way to imagine a representative democracy is like this:
Citizen ⇒ Representative ⇒ Government
The concept of a direct democracy differs from that of a representative democracy because unlike above, in which there is a "middleman" between the citizens and the government, there is no middleman in the case of a direct democracy. That is why it's "direct."
