Constructed in sections over several centuries beginning in the third century BCE, the Great Wall is the most famous monument in China. The oldest sections of the wall are believed to have crumbled away completely. Modern mapping technologies have revealed parts of the wall that had been absorbed by the landscape. Hills and rivers had hidden sections of the wall over the years. Today, many other elements also threaten the structure. Sandstorms nibble away at some portions of the Great Wall. Tourists also do damage, as some sections draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. People's shoes wear down the stone, and many bricks have been carved with people's names.Do It!Human activity is _________ the Great Wall.Press enter to interact with the item, and press tab button or down arrow until reaching the Submit button once the item is selectedA promotingB erodingC infectingD sustaining
Great walls of emerald, City that is afar, We gallop along, Alert and penetrating,5 Roads open about us, Housetops keep at a distance. Soft-curling tendrils, Swim backwards from our image We are a red bulk10 Projecting the angular city in shadows at our feet. Black coarse-squared figures, Bump and growl and assemble; It is the city that takes us to itself, Vast thunder riding down strange skies.15 An arch under which we slide Divides our lives for us, After we have passed it We know we have left something behind We shall not see again.20 Passivity, Gravity, Are changed into hesitating, clanking pistons and wheels. The trams come whooping up one by one, Yellow pulse-beats spreading through darkness.25 Movie posters squall out, The passengers shrivel together, As I enter indelicately into their souls. It is a glossy skating rink On which winged spirals clasp and bend each other,30 And suddenly slide backwards towards the center, After a too-brief release. A second arch is a wall To separate our souls from disintegrating cables Of stale greenness.35 A shadow cutting off the country from us, Out of it rise crimson walls, Yet I revolt; I bend, I twist myself, I curl into a million convolutions:40 Shapes without angle, Anything to be soft and woolly, Anything to escape. Sudden lurch of clamors, Two more viaducts45 Stretch out red yokes of steel, Crushing my rebellion. My soul shrieking Is jolted forwards by a long fiery bar50 Soft-into direct distances, It pierces the small of my back.1Based on details from the passage, the reader can infer that the narrator A. is enthralled, because he describes seeing "emerald walls" and roads that "open about us." B. is frightened, because he describes "a shadow cutting off the country" and his "soul shrieking." C. feels trapped, because he wants to "revolt" and says that he would do "anything to escape." D. feels liberated, because he describes himself as curling into "convolutions" and becoming a shape "without angle."
