Answer:

D. Supportive of a republic and critical of the Emperor/Empress

Explanation:

For 2,000 years, China was ruled by an emperor or empress who held absolute power. However, as the twentieth century approached, the people of China grew increasingly frustrated with the empress. She had been unable to rid China of Western influence, and in 1911, the situation reached a breaking point. Under the leadership of a young man named Sun Yat-sen, the Chinese started a revolution. Sun Yat-sen had traveled and studied in the West, and he argued that China should develop into a more democratic republic. He created a political party called the Kuomintang (KMT), also known as the Nationalist Party.

Sun and the KMT overthrew the Chinese empress and ended the dynastic rule in China. Establishing a republic in China, however, proved to be more difficult. After Sun became president, he handed over power to a general. The general, Yuan Shikai, did not share Sun's vision for democracy. When the general died in 1916, civil war broke out in China. Ultimately, warlords and military leaders gained power and territory.

Answer: The Automobile industry

Explanation:

In the 1920s, the Automobile industry had been revolutionized in no small part by Henry Ford which led to cars becoming so popular that everyone wanted to buy one.

This growth in the automobile industry led to growth in other industries that the automobile relied on such as oil which powered the car, glass which was used to make the cars, tourism which became easier to engage in with a car and road building which provided a conduit for cars to move.

I loved being a little girl, or rather I loved being a fairy princess, for that was who I thought I was.As I passed through a stormy adolescence to a stormy maturity, femininity increasingly became an exasperation, a brilliant subtle esthetic that was bafflingly inconsistent at the same time that it was minutely, demandingly concrete, a rigid code of appearance and behavior defined by dos and dont-dos that went against my rebellious grain. Femininity was a challenge thrown down to the female sex, a challenge no proud, self-respecting young woman could afford to ignore, particularly one with enormous ambition that she nursed in secret, alternately feeding or starving its inchoate life in tremendous confusion.Dont lose your femininity and Isnt it remarkable how she manages to retain her femininity? had terrifying implications. They spoke of a bottom-line failure so irreversible that nothing else mattered. The pinball machine was registered tilt, the game had been called. Disqualification was marked on the forehead of a woman whose femininity was lost. No records would be entered in her name, for she had destroyed her birthright in her wretched, ungainly effort to imitate a man. She walked in limbo, this hapless creature, and it occurred to me that one day I might see her when I looked in the mirror. If the danger was so palpable that warning notices were freely posted, wasnt it possible that the small bundle of resentments I carried around in secret might spill out and place the mark on my own forehead? Whatever quarrels with femininity I had I kept to myself; whatever handicaps femininity imposed, they were mine to deal with alone, for there was no womens movement to ask the tough questions, or so brazenly disregard the rules.Femininity, in essence, is a romantic sentiment, a nostalgic tradition of imposed limitations. Even as it hurries forward in the 1980s, putting on lipstick and high heels to appear well dressed, it trips on the ruffled petticoats and hoopskirts of an era gone by. Invariably and necessarily, femininity is something that women had more of in the past, not only in the historic past of prior generations, but in each womans personal past as wellin the virginal innocence that is replaced by knowledge, in the dewy cheek that is coarsened by age, in the inherent nature that a woman seems to misplace so forgetfully whenever she steps out of bounds. Why should this be so? The XX chromosomal message has not been scrambled, the estrogen-dominated hormonal balance is generally as biology intended, the reproductive organs, whatever use one has made of them, are usually in place, the breasts of whatever size are most often where they should be. But clearly, biological femaleness is not enough.Femininity always demands more. It must constantly reassure its audience by a willing demonstration of difference, even when one does not exist in nature, or it must seize and embrace a natural variation and compose a rhapsodic symphony upon the notes. Suppose one doesnt care to, has other things on her mind, is clumsy or tone-deaf despite the best instruction and training? To fail at the feminine difference is to appear not to care about men, and to risk the loss of their attention and approval. To be insufficiently feminine is viewed as a failure in core sexual identity, or as a failure to care sufficiently about oneself, for a woman found wanting will be appraised (and will appraise herself) as mannish or neutered or simply unattractive, as men have defined these terms.We are talking, admittedly, about an exquisite esthetic. Enormous pleasure can be extracted from feminine pursuits as a creative outlet or purely as relaxation; indeed, indulgence for the sake of fun, or art, or attention, is among femininitys great joys. But the chief attraction (and the central paradox, as well) is the competitive edge that femininity seems to promise in the unending struggle to survive, and perhaps to triumph.In the first two paragraphs, the author describes experiences from her girlhood and early adulthood primarily toA.
