Answer:
Technological innovations increased agricultural yields.
Explanation:
The Chinese economy in the period 1200-1450 increased due to higher production of agricultural crops with the use of new technologies. In the period of song dynasty, an early growing rice cultivar was produced which can be grown multiple times in a year. Due to multiple harvest, food was available in large amount for the people so we can say that innovations increase the yield of crops.
The ancient civilization that conquered the lands that
bordered on the Mediterranean Sea is the Roman civilization. The roman
civilization is being describe as having a government that is composed of
emperors and territorial holdings that are being considered as their government
head which extends around Mediterranean Sea of the Asia, Africa and as well as
Europe.
An interest group (also called an advocacy group, lobbying group,
pressure group, or special interest) is a group, however loosely or
tightly organized, that is determined to encourage or prevent changes in
public policy without trying to be elected.
So based off this knowledge, we can eliminate C. :)
I don't think it's A or B because they are more concerned with change
and advocacy than a "free time" thing.
So going with this definition, I'd go with D ;)
Apollo was passionately fond of a youth named Hyacinthus. He accompanied him in his sports, carried the nets when he went fishing, led the dogs when he went to hunt, followed him in his excursions1 in the mountains, and neglected for him his lyre2 and his arrows. One day they played a game of quoits3 together, and Apollo, heaving aloft the discus,4 with strength mingled with skill, sent it high and far. Hyacinthus watched it as it flew and excited with the sport, ran forward to seize it, eager to make his throw, when the quoit bounded from the earth and stuck him in the forehead. He fainted and fell. The god, as pale as himself, raised him and tried all his art to stanch5 the wound and retain the flitting life, but all in vain; the hurt was past the power of medicine. Q1 As, when one has broken the stem of a lily in the garden, it hangs its head and turns its flowers to the earth, so the head of the dying boy, as if too heavy for his neck, fell over on his shoulder. “Thou diest, Hyacinth,” so spoke Phoebus,6 “robbed of thy youth by me. Thine is the suffering, mine the crime. Would that I could die for thee! But since that may not be thou shalt live with me in memory and in song. My lyre shall celebrate thee, my song shall tell thy fate, and thou shalt become a flower inscribed with my regret.” While Apollo spoke, behold the blood which had flowed of hue more beautiful than the Tyrian7 sprang up, resembling the lily, if it were not that this is purple and that silvery white.8 And this was not enough for Phoebus; but to confer still greater honor, he marked the petals with his sorrow, and inscribed “Ah! Ah!” upon them, as we see to this day. The flower bears the name of Hyacinthus, and with every returning spring revives the memory of his fate. Q2
