To rule the vast territory, the Qin instituted a rigid, authoritarian government; they standardized the writing system, standardized the measurements of length and weight and the width of highways, abolished all feudal privileges, oversaw large-scale construction of what then became the first Great Wall.

Qin dynasty, Qin also spelled Kin or (Wade-Giles romanization) Ch’in, dynasty that established the first great Chinese empire. The Qin—which lasted only from 221 to 207 BCE but from which the name China is derived—established the approximate boundaries and basic administrative system that all subsequent Chinese dynasties were to follow for the next two millennia.

The dynasty was originated by the state of Qin, one of the many small feudal states into which China was divided between 771 and 221 BCE. The Qin, which occupied the strategic Wei River valley in the extreme northwestern area of the country, was one of the least Sinicized of those small states and one of the most martial. Between the middle of the 3rd and the end of the 2nd century BCE, the rulers of Qin began to centralize state power, creating a rigid system of laws that were applicable throughout the country and dividing the state into a series of commanderies and prefectures ruled by officials appointed by the central government. Under those changes, Qin slowly began to conquer its surrounding states, emerging into a major power in China.

Finally, in 246 BCE, the boy king Ying Zheng came to the throne. He, together with his minister Li Si, completed the Qin conquests and in 221 created the Qin empire. Ying Zheng proclaimed himself Qin Shihuangdi (“First Sovereign Emperor of Qin”). To rule the vast territory, the Qin instituted a rigid, authoritarian government; they standardized the writing system, standardized the measurements of length and weight and the width of highways, abolished all feudal privileges, oversaw large-scale construction of what then became the first Great Wall, and in 213, to halt subversive thought, ordered all books burned, except those on such utilitarian subjects as medicine.

Answer:

According to the text, Georgia was:

D. settled for economic reasons.

Explanation:

In the "Charter of 1732", the King of England is addressing the poor and indebted citizens of his country. What he is offering is the opportunity for those citizens to settle in the colony of Georgia for economic reasons. In Georgia, they would have the opportunity to own land, cultivate it, and gain their own subsistence. Of course, that would also benefit England and make the colony stronger.

Regarding sensitive and complicated issues, which of the following is correct? Group of answer choices a) Use self-administered
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

Sensitive issues refer to topics which people tend to feel uncomfortable talking about (Like harassment, addictions, violence)

Many studies on this topic have shown that when people are in front of other person who's interviewing them they might hide some aspects of themselves to create a better impression on the interviewer, therefore, the information acquired this way is not 100% right.

Regarding <u>sensitive issues, it is even more difficult for people to talk about them specially when it comes to an stranger</u> (like a researcher). Thus, it is not recommended to address sensitive issues in interviews but rather by <u>self-administered questionnaires in which the person doesn't have to interact with another person.</u>

<u />

When it comes to complicated issues, a questionnaire is not recommended since it could leave the researcher without enough information, and since it's <u>a complicated issue, the researcher might want to be there to clarify people's answers.</u> Therefore, <u>for complicated issues, it is better to use interviews.</u>

Thus, the correct answer is b) Use self-administered questionnaires for sensitive issues and interviews for complicated issues
