The Great Wall of China was constructed by the Qin Dynasty. Its purpose was to keep barbarians like the Mongols away from the more populated Han China.

It didn't really work though because barbarians, again, the Mongols, went around it.

It is now just used as a massive tourist attraction bringing in almost 10 million tourists a year. Basically its just a big source of revenue now.

Explanation:

2,300 years ago the first sections of the Great Wall were built to keep outsiders out, but ironically it is now rebuilt to draw tourists in. Over the centuries, the Great Wall has been built and rebuilt for three main purposes: as kingdom border defenses, to defend China's northern border, and for tourism.

Sloan [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following,

When your phone alerts you that you received a text you check the message. When your phone doesn't sound an alert you check it much less frequently. The difference in your behavior from one situation to another is most likely due to awareness, conditioning, and the reaction to an external stimulus.

The external stimulus is of course the ringing or the sound alert. This makes people immediately check what the alert is about. In today's modern world, people are conditioned to react to a stimulus; the alarm sound. That is why, in the presence of the stimulus, they conditionally react and check their phones.

When there is no stimulus, the mind does not operate in a conditioned way and people less frequently react as in the presence of the stimulus.

Why is literacy considered as prerequisite of development?Give four reasons.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Literacy enables:

  • Documenting knowledge and history
  • Understanding more complex ideas
  • Developing all the aspects of our education
  • Team and group work and development

Explanation:

Literacy is the ability of reading and writing. It is necessary for the development of society as well as for individual development because:

  • <u>A society that is not literate can’t document anything</u>. This means, everything is based only on oral knowledge and history, which can’t be documented for later generations and therefore can’t progress from what is currently in the head of the one particular person. While people can orally share that knowledge, it is, like all our memories, temporary, insecure, and limited.

  • <u>Literacy is required to understand any more complex tasks than what is here and now</u>. Literacy is not only basic reading and writing of the alphabet but understanding complex ideas and decoding the concepts. If we need to do anything that requires more time learning (which is any of the university requires professions, for example),<u> we depend on the ability to read, write, and note the progress. </u>

  • Language is not the only thing depending on literacy – a<u>ll the aspects of education depend on the ability to read and write</u>. There is no development in knowledge and education of the individual who is not literate.

  • <u>Literacy also enables better teamwork and group development</u>. If people can write down their thoughts, ideas, concepts, etc, and others can read it, edit, and add up, <u>it can seriously benefit the group dynamics and lead to group inventions</u>. The sharing of written concepts and ideas is one of the keys to development.
